River Snow
A phone holder shaped by a Tang-dynasty poem. Layered silhouettes of a solitary fisherman and a snow-covered mountain cradle the phone like a scroll resting inside a still landscape.
Layered Scene · The phone rests inside the landscape
One of a weekly series of small fabrication exercises. The brief here: design an object whose form carries meaning beyond its function.
The piece draws on Liu Zongyuan's poem River Snow — an old fisherman alone on a still river in winter. Layered silhouettes of mountains, snow, and the lone boat are stacked front to back, with the phone itself slotted into the landscape as if it belonged there. Function and image sit in the same object.
