Only Hope was left within her unbreakable house
she remained in the box and did not fly away
Before she could fly off Pandora replaced the lid of the box

Hesiod

 

 

Similar to postcards that provide limited space for communication,
boxes provide limited 3-dimensional space for objects and their stories.

While some people carefully catch butterflies with a net,
others use boxes to catch stories.
Some boxes serve as First Aid Kits, some as seismographs,
in  other contexts boxes can cause great disturbances.
But no matter where and when a box is in use, it always serves as
registration device, gallery and laboratory within a mobile structure.
