The world is full of sacrifices. The different nationalities constitute the sacrificial culture with their own styles. Through the research, I am attracted to the incense burner for sacrificial rites, which is essential thing carrying out this activity. I started chasing more distinctive scent boxes. I used the traditional Chinese openwork window flower pattern as decoration, and the scent is emitted through the openwork. I used laser engraving for the whole process, which is not only more beautiful but also more precise. Then I used watercolors to recreate the colors I imagined and make it retain the grain of the wood.
