Borrowing its title from the classic torch song, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes translates romantic melancholy into a sharp, witty visual narrative. Set against a warm ochre backdrop, a stylised profile featuring vibrant blue hair holds a lit cigarette with delicate, red-tipped fingers. A continuous, undulating ribbon of electric blue smoke rises from the tip, sweeping across the canvas in a wide loop before entering the subject's eye socket. With clean outlines and bold flat colour planes, the artwork turns a famous lyric about emotional delusion into a surreal, minimalist loop of cause and effect.
