"Capacity of objects to serve as traces of authentic experience"
The Gates of Paradise by Lorenzo Ghiberti
Ghiberti spent 27 years completing these doors. He had labored on these for so long. Making them an experience for him. Even though these doors are simply objects. Ghiberti would have seen them as an experience for the amount of time and sweet he put into them. He had created a masterpiece which he would look back on as an experience. Even the great Michelangelo had said they were "truly worthy to be the Gates of Paradise".
