GPS is an electronic compass that writhes us between comfort and doubt under the gaze of satellites surveying the globe. When embedded in smartphones, it instantaneously steals the fear of being lost while utterly denying the human pastime of intuition. It loudly offers guidance only when needed, then tests us with silence when the signal drops—a true tsundere device. Even if it proposes the shortest route, it cannot see through real-world traffic jams or roadworks, planting extra doubts in its dependents. It is the little box god of modernity, delivering a peculiar sense of security while coldly counting down the spirit of adventure.

GPS is the silent observer in the sky, a magical contraption that fixes our every move while chaining us to our smartphone screens. Promising the freedom from getting lost, it quietly steals our innate sense of direction and turns us helpless at the slightest signal dropout. Its precision is celebrated until a minor positioning error leaves us wandering in circles — a bitter testament to our dependence on technology. We praise its guidance while it mercilessly reroutes us into traffic jams and dead ends, proving that becoming lost was never about the map but about ourselves.

Landscape photography is the grand delusion of camera and lens, trying to replicate a nonexistent perfection of nature. On location, however, what actually awaits is muddy boots buffeted by wind and strangers' tripods masquerading as fine decor. The photographer, breathless, insists 'This is the real summit,' while chasing that one Instagram frame in which reality vanishes. Mountains and seas stand silent, dutifully aligning themselves in the frame only to be reborn with digital filters. The final image is the pinnacle of aesthetic artifice, masterfully concealing the tiresome inconveniences of the real world.
