"Currently, as smartphones have become the norm, these public phone booths have become redundant. They are lonely relics of yesterday’s technology. The booths are now equipped each with a piece of petrified wood. As a fossil by nature, this mixture of wood and stone representing a de facto witness of time, replacing that generic object of communication with a mute, solemn subject for one to contemplate and to reconnect with themselves.""
