Typhoon-tilted Mailboxes, Post boxes on Longjiang Road, Taipei, Taiwan
Two mail collection boxes, one red and one green, stand at identical angles after being struck by a falling shop sign during a typhoon.
The postal boxes gained their permanent tilt on August 7, 2015, when Typhoon Soudelor swept through Taiwan, causing widespread infrastructure damage across the region.
People travel to photograph these mail boxes, creating poses that match their angles, making them a representation of finding positivity after natural disasters.
The tilted post boxes remain functional for mail collection, with reinforced bases ensuring their stability while maintaining their characteristic lean.
Taiwan's postal service decided to preserve these damaged boxes in their tilted position, transforming them from regular postal equipment into a permanent exhibition.
