10/10. These are some really cool pieces! Any idea what is happening in the ‘smell’ peice?

The one girl is smoking, see the cigar? And the other girl is smelling her perfumed? Hankie possibly in response. At least that’s my take.

I like touch.. The one sister is totally blazed :)

You know these types of undescribable feelings, why can't we feel in our real life?
