Sparkling wine and sparkling smile, new fashion and new car, a house and new gadgets to show, a veneer that shines and glows, underneath lies more, unsettled and unknowing, we show a reflection of not what is true, a fabrication of our discomfort, a fear of not belonging, for the truth lies not in mankind, but in the nature that surrounds us.

Keeping up with the Joneses
Sparkling wine and sparkling smile, new fashion and new car, a house and new gadgets to show, a veneer that shines and glows, underneath lies more, unsettled and unknowing, we show a reflection of not what is true, a fabrication of our discomfort, a fear of not belonging, for the truth lies not in mankind, but in the nature that surrounds us.
