Today’s traveller can virtually tour destinations at the touch of a finger even before actually visiting the place through simple online marketing platforms (Solimar International, 2014) that give tourists ideas and knowledge about the particular destination. With the highly industrialized and technological world, the industry of tourism marketing continuously grows resulting in the number of international tourist arrivals, as of 2015, to 1,184 million, representing an increase of 4.4% with 50 million more tourist arrivals compared to 2014 with accords from the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO, 2016).

Once looking at the emphasised shape, the audience naturally follows down the line of the spheres and then jumps over the lane to the blue truck before viewing the red truck in front of it. “Much of Smart's direct artistic stimulation came from, literally, a passing glance as he was driving”. Smart reveals how "My paintings have their origins in a passing glance” and adds that “Sometimes I'll drive around for months ... despair, nothing, nothing, then suddenly I will see something that seizes me: a shape, a combination of shapes, a play of light or shadows and I send up a prayer because I know I have the gem of a picture”, inspiring a new perspective to the influences behind his concepts and works.

The ships are facing towards the right, and the artist has used overlapping and size differences to give the illusion that some ships are farther away than others. In the right-hand third of the image, there are a few ships heading towards the planet Jupiter, known by its distinctive red spot.
