MIRRORS (SET OF 5) – KENNETH CHEE, ANTFARM DESIGN
$20.00
There are times when it’s difficult to convey a message to someone who has just lost a loved one or to just simply say, “I’m sorry” or “I love you”. These cards recreate the sender’s intended feeling visually through design where a worded message cannot. The series of cards rely heavily on visual effect, humour and fancy design effects were carefully measured to avoid turning the card into a gimmick and bordering on insensitivity.

Each card contains a hidden wish, hope, or dream that is symbolically represented by a pair of delicate wings. When a card is bought, written, and given to another, the wings take flight and “come to life” — physically transported by air or sea as well as immaterially from the page into the mind and thoughts of the receiver. Card covers in these 5 emotions: sorry, thank you, congratulations, condolences, love.
