The FedEx Box: Both Medium and Message

fedex-vase.jpg

Diggin’ these prints by DM9 DDB/Brazil. In each, a FedEx delivery box is positioned as a conduit for items that bear some storytelling cachet. Two sets of hands, reaching toward each other from top and bottom of the frame, represent giver and receiver.

Perfect delivery, no pun intended. (Don’t you hate it when people say that? Because if the pun isn’t intended, isn’t it terrifically convenient that it’s there?)

See Trumpet — the more popular piece — and Robot.
