Whats wrong with abstract shape? Is it not clear that the structures are supposed to represent nebulous drops of oil and the material its texture?? Oh, and hy must everything be boxy in our modern world??? *sigh* These are just some questions running through my mind at present. For what my little opinion is worth here, I think its actually quite beautiful - perhaps not exactly what I would have chosen (given that I had seen the other entries), but still a very well thought out effort! :) I really fail to see why there are so many negative comments about this project…
