After looking through all the amazing work here, we were very surprised at what we ended up choosing. These pieces are so beautiful and bold and curiously abstract, which is something we don't normally gravitate towards. We especially love how well all the works look together with their sharp lines and muted tones. It was difficult to limit ourselves to 10, but these pieces in particular have a wonderful emotional quality to them—evoking a particular temperature or quiet or time of day.
