  1. This represents a large, cloth-like object encompassing a wide area, and insects. This evokes the idea of a large bird flapping its wings, buffeting insects all about with WIND.

    The application to issues of “style” represents how it’s not just a physical object, but that which flows all around it; the ambiance.
