power strip

Description

A power strip is a benevolent device that distributes the life-giving electricity injected into it, in the battlefield of modern humanity fighting for limited outlets. It remains invisible while serving tirelessly, yet the moment its insufficiency is noticed, it explodes into existence, spawning a sea of cables. While we revel in its convenience, it silently accumulates stray cords and strange noises, ushering in celebrations known as maintenance. It gathers the cravings of all appliances and lurks at the wall’s edge, charged with static mischief. It is, in essence, the hub of electricity and the supreme commander of cable hell.
