Besides the subjects themeselves, i wanted this design as a whole to relate to the theme.



In our society, sight is usually emphasized as the most important of all the senses, and oftentimes we rely so heavily on it that it deceives us. Our perception of something from a distance is dominated by our sense of sight, but when we move closer to that subject we can experience it more fully by engaging the other, more tactlile senses. So, this design serves as a metaphor for this idea because when viewed from a distance, it appears as just a composition of burning incense, but when approached the subtle faces hidden in the smoke are revealed.



So again, engaging all the senses allows us to gain a greater understanding of what it is we perceive, likewise all the components and views contribute to the “sensuous” nature of the design.

please... speak human

No likey the big wurds, splatkunst?



Dig the design and concept, SP.

I loves it! I would wear the hell out of this shirt.

Very nice concept!

haha srry i guess the explanation was a bit wordy, my bad.

Actually, your explanation makes a lot of sense and helped me to understand the design. I don't think people will actually get the full message without that explanation, but it's a great design anyway. $5

i love this! very well done

haha i love the "big" words

love the explanation

love the design $4

the figure with the side profile needs a little work, but a really pretty design.

ahhhh, this is awesome. i've always thought of doing something with the idea of how beautiful burning incense smoke is. and your explanation is amazing as well.

Loves it! Your description was perfectly fine, I understood it completely...then again, you get used to pretentiousness in art school ^_^



Beautiful design, and I'm sure it would be a great conversation starter at parties. $5, all the way!

love it, but i have to admit that i wasn't thinking incense until i read it. it definitely looks like smoke, but i had no idea that the lines at the bottom were at first.

ahhh, WHAT?

I wouldn't have known it was incense without the explanation. It's visually interesting. I don't like the way her face is drawn but that's personal taste rather than skill I think.

I like it better now that a notice the incense. 5

sorry, i dont understand.

This is a very aesthetically pleasing design. Keep up the good work!

I like the idea but not the silouette/faces in the smoke. Good work though...

LOVE THIS. great explanation too, although i think the shirt stands alone very well. $5.

Very graceful and beautiful.

i like it but the second i saw it the first thing i did was look for the person in it and i saw it straight away cause thats what i expected to see in this design just by glancing at the shape of the thing as a whole so i dunno about your whole thing on not seeing it until we use our other senses, honestly i only noticed the whole smoke incense thing after the person when i actually looked at detail i didn't think of that as the design i thought of a person just kinda whispy and artistic but i like it, wouldn't wear it cause it's not really my style so ... 4 :)
