Like a Rorschach test, the INKcognito Collection is open to much interpretation, with ambiguous images that let the mind go wild. Let me give it a try. I see, I see...clouds of smoke. Damn, well my imagination never really turns on until after lunch, anyway.

It is amazing what you can do with the manipulation of a [single medium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pointillism). Artist Fekete Zoltan's INKcognito Collection has made the [viscous liquid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maze) appear as if it were giving off [plumes of smoke](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuvolino). He has followed the "less is more" creed here and it has paid off in spades. Well done.
