A divine goblet in a purple hue contains an elysian liquid, which tempts the observer to take a sip and delve deep into a world of happiness, creativity, and imagination. The exotic view itself captivates the viewer to keep looking into the depth of the liquid and the shape of the stem, only to realize that the sip is not of the liquid, but of the view which is strong enough to pull the viewer into the mysterious happy world, without taking a real sip.
