The Blue-eyed Melancholic Gaze Postcard Set - Comes with a small card that doubles as a bookmark - Ideal for gift exchanges.

**//Design Inspiration//** This is a metaphorical series of works, where melancholic situations are released through blue eyes. The creatures within the "Melancholic Gaze" series bear a resemblance to "certain beings," yet are not entirely them. The intention is to express the various melancholic situations in life that are "seemingly alike, yet slightly different." Humans often misjudge or make assumptions based on partial information, leading to endless misunderstandings and disappointments. This is how a silent melancholy arises. **//Product Concept / Design Inspiration//** Concept: [Embracing the Melancholic Gaze] https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/ef/1e/60/ef1e60871ef39dffb9567f266071c595.png The animal murmurs: "I am tough, but I still need hugs." - Even those who appear strong or intense need timely care and embrace. - Concept: [The Encouraging Melancholic Gaze] https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/f7/c7/a4/f7c7a43e126b2cf3366df446f0e206c9.png The animal murmurs: "I've tried my best. Could you just wish me luck instead of telling me to keep going?" - Sometimes, after giving your all, being told to "keep going" feels like a dismissal of your efforts. - Concept: [The Neglected Melancholic Gaze] https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/01/06/29/0106292a4c3178e7c136967c6918e898.png The animal murmurs: "I just want a response. Could you please not ignore me?" - The fast-paced and busy rhythm of life often makes those who need attention or are important feel unvalued. - Concept: [The Expressive Melancholic Gaze] https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/e4/ff/08/e4ff081c695c3e5684ac78ea5ea9ed69.png The animal murmurs: "I just want to express my thoughts. I don't want a faulty translator." - Often, what you say is "translated" by others into words that are not your original intent, or misconstrued. - Concept: [The Questioning Melancholic Gaze] https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/95/c9/8d/95c98dac4c266066c17d24392e63082d.png The animal murmurs: "I've always been here, but speculation suggests I've gone astray." - Even when you've done nothing wrong, the speculative gaze implies, "How could you do that?" - **//Product Specifications//** [The Blue-eyed Melancholic Gaze] Postcard Set includes: 1.
