Web pages with broken image icons have never been this awesome

Breaking boundaries has always been one of the things I liked to see, but sometimes things can go both ways, and this is one of them.

Graphic designer Beom Young has introduced a set of pretty unusual wall ornaments.

And by unusual we mean to say that the concept adapted into wall portraits and picture frames is one that usually causes nothing but frustration and helpless rage in the common man.

I am, of course, referring to the broken image icon that sometimes shows up on websites that fail to load for whatever reason.

“Through this installation, I tried to crack the border between them by transferring the symbol from one world to another world. I am wondering how people will react to the broken image icons in the real stuff,” he explains.

“Will they feel blankness and imagine missing images, focusing on its original information, or will they accept them as just small images?”
