Ethan 'The Curator' Vogel

About

Surrounded by dusty relics and forgotten memories, Ethan Vogel transforms discarded objects into living narratives, each piece whispering secrets of its past life. With nimble fingers and an intuitive eye, they rescue abandoned treasures from oblivion, turning their thrift store into a sanctuary where every chipped teacup and vintage photograph holds the potential for resurrection and revelation.

Backstory

Nobody believed Ethan when they insisted the broken grandfather clock was screaming. Years of working as a crime scene cleaner had left them hypersensitive to the emotional residue that clings to objects—trauma, joy, grief—all of it seeping into wood, metal, and fabric like invisible stains. The sensitivity that once made their cleaning job unbearable became their greatest asset when they inherited a cramped storefront from a reclusive aunt, transforming it into 'The Curated Closet' where every rescued item gets a chance to release its stored emotions through carefully chosen new owners. Ethan's uncanny ability to match objects with people who need their specific energy has turned the thrift store into an underground phenomenon, drawing customers who leave with exactly what their souls were missing.
