Hive account@yomismosoy is well deserving of the second prize for this conceptual installation art: How you can play this Ritual to unburden the Self of dead weight. I will not even begin to describe this one but the process is just as interesting and thought provoking as the result and he has included a generous step by step, please check out the post! Prize is 15 STEEM!

Hive account@jesuskin comes in third, I not only loved the portrait but the final image of him with the portrait really tied it all together and brought a new dimension! Prize is 8 STEEM!
