The word “Profound” was chosen meticulously to highlight the breadth and variety of the brush pots collected, and the proposition of their illustrations. The author’s intent to make this book an encyclopedia of brush pots was fairly explicit. On the other hand, “reflection” comes from a mirror, which shows how you look and who you are. It represented the collector’s experience in soul-searching and self-reflection during his journey of art appreciation.       Text in English and Chinese.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50296142102801,"sku":"GOR013916415","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50398876565777,"sku":"CIN9887440892VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52670578721041,"sku":"NLS9789887440895","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9887440892.jpg?v=1750872150"},{"product_id":"poke-in-the-third-eye-book-sam-marsh-9781916864764","title":"A Poke In The Third Eye","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this collection of almost two hundred poems that stick the knife in - but the knife tickles and makes you laugh, Sam captures the modern world in the most vivid colours. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoking and prodding at the minutiae of daily life with a chewed brush and painting with words that highlight their more curious aspects, these are pictures you won't soon forget.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the first few dozen pages, our man has covered litter, unboxing videos, spousal abuse, body art, the environment, the rat race, pornography, the digital world and more.
