Addressing contradictory textures from page 204, this is a cube that I thought represents this concept.  It is an obvious cube, yet at the same time it's made up of slender curved sheets of metal.  When I think of a cube, I think of a box, or a crate; something uniform and possible dull.  The texture of this cube is shiny, sleek, artistic, curved, and rounded.  For me, this is a contradictory piece.
