What is "rare luxury" to you?

The other side of elegance.

When looking at the Martell L'Or bottle - its shape, its line and its colors - what comes to mind, and how best do you represent them?

The outline of the bottle impressed me. And the lines struck me first. When you're given an object, often times you would look at the details, what's inside, the colors and etc. And you can look at the details from different angles but somehow, intuitively my mind was captivated by the outline or the silhouettes and that is what I wanted to express.
