Awer creates masterpieces in the [city environment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-love-joy) that aren't bound to the confines of a museum or exhibit, which allows everyone to enjoy the [surreal visual treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow). Vibrantly swirling lines across the majority of the works give them a sense of movement that can enthral the onlooker and gives each piece a certain touch of character. What's more, the [psychedelic color accents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer) offer a 'trippy' feel that encourages the work to be felt as opposed to just viewed.
