Wood Case for iPhone 6s

Subject

iPhone Case

Description

A simple iPhone case with the "Watercolor Waves orange/turquoise/brown" design. Sleek, minimalist build adds little size and weight, though because of this the case does not provide much practical protection. Rather, this case serves an almost entirely aesthetic purpose. The dulled tones of abstract watercolor print over a chestnut back evokes expressionism and implies a certain bohemian sensibility in its user.
However, the case is mass-produced and is nearly identical to all other models, meaning the case is neither notably unique nor does it necessarily indicate any artistic ability on the part of its user. It is a work of utilitarian art, created not to be appreciated for its beauty, history, or ability to inspire abstract emotions, but to fill up a blank space (in this case, the back of an iPhone) with something interesting.
While it may not be an example of traditional Fine Art or a personal memento, this case is meant to act as a quick shorthand for "artsy," with its purpose being to start conversations and, in conjunction with other modes of public expression like clothes and posture, give a brief impression of an individual's personality and tastes.
