Thinking about beauty and pain and how beauty can be a vehicle for pain. It can express, instead of concealing or oppressing, while remaining approachable and inviting. Some pains are sacred, as they are the aftermath of fighting for the greater good.

Whether this or that, beautiful or ugly, is a collective decision made throughout history, passed down to me–more of an ancient collective consciousness than an individual sense.
