In his last year in architecture school, Park has put together a complex configurations of fog machines to create this masterpiece. Wafting out of what look like [mini cannons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-gateway-and-sky-ring), this architectural feat is impressive as the [smoke rings hover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwagumi-air-scape) for a sustained amount of time before dispersing into space. Though this was just a school project and these machines may have no foreseeable practical use for them, the possibility of shape-making smoke machines may prove attractive for the entertainment industry.
