Sometimes our memories are shaped more by the frame than the content. Screens have become the ubiquitous picture frame of the 21st century and, since the advent of the smartphone, technology has worked in an act of negation; making the casing or hardware disappear in favor of the content. It appears though, that through this act the ubiquitous form of the phone has become more memorable than anything it delivers. Even more, the smartphone as a device has become a vehicle to reflect ourselves and our lifestyles in a reciprocal act of narcissism.

The form of these devices echo ones we've seen in the gardens of Kyoto temples, dating as far back as the 14th century; begging us to question why humans are so prone to rounding an edge. Perhaps the sculptural process of crafting sharp edges into perfect radii is indicative of a historical need to exercise control over nature.
