Late November 2025, I stepped away from Instagram for a week out of desire, out of need. A pause.
The kind that only makes sense afterward.
On December 3, 2025, in New York, Pharrell Williams received the “Shoe of the Year” award at the Footwear News Achievement Awards. In the middle of the ceremony’s smooth choreography, he dropped a line that cut through the room:
“Be master of the algorithm. At least a couple times a day, put down your phone and think on your own.”
Suddenly, an image resurfaced:
June 23, 2024. The Sacai show had just ended in Paris. As the seats emptied, an iPhone remained unnoticed. That phone belonged to Pharrell Williams.
The more I look at this photograph, the more his words resonate, offering multiple layers of interpretation and reflection. Hear those words each time your eyes rest on this object.
