Rather than represent a sensation literally, these frames attempt to adjust how the viewer sees the world, similar to how a person adjusts their world view when under the influence of a strong sensation. For example, when I see something go splat, I make note of how flat it has become. The splat frame shows an incomplete viewing area with only a smashed area that allows viewing. Thus, the viewer is aware that perhaps they could have seen objects with a neutral perspective, but now they are constrained to a "splat" view
Descriptions
Cold
The white paint alludes to frost around the image. This allow allows colors in the view to stand out more.
Prickly
Not visible here is the fact that when the viewer focuses on the image, the "spike" on the frame doubles due to the changing optical focus, thus lending a sense of prickliness
Splat
Here, the only viewing region is "splat" down on the bottom of the frame. The area above the splat region hints at the fact that with a little bit more cutting through the cardboard, we may not have had to strain our eyes. Likewise, with a bit more care, an object that has gone "splat" in real life might not have done so.
Boing
Here, the viewing area boings back and forth, as indicated by the blurriness in the image.
