As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty

“Cozy but dark at the same time, maybe a reality of what my headspace actually might look like. How when you stay in one room for too long, the perception of it changes based on how you feel. The floor is light and warm, walls were shades of dark blues and blacks, feathers and chains, an empty alcohol bottle, a light visual fluttering on one wall. A material room that makes you transcend to feel immaterial… like when two bodies are touching and you lose sense of where one begins and the other ends. I wanted to be surrounded by hard and soft, mess, reflections. Having everything kind of looking at you. When people came into my room, they stayed for a while. A lot of couples were just laying down, talking, having intimate moments, staring off. I wondered what people were thinking.”
