Why?

Why is this the way it is? Why does it work this way? Why can't I do that? Why not combine this with that?

I watch the world around me as if it wasn't finished but rather like something that could be improved, different or have another meaning. That's why I question archetypes, from a functional or cultural point of view.

Why not?
