Metamorphosis

A juxtaposition of life and death, Metamorphosis reveals beauty in pain we don't wish to see.





**************************************************************************
I am intrigued with death and semi-gothic themes, not because I've succumbed to nihilism or anything, but because I've realized rose glasses don't make it disappear. Since 18 my favorite quote has been, "Vivre la vie en rose". Literally it means, "to live life in pink", which in theory translates to living life with rose tinted glasses.

In a way I am a color dichotomy; I am attracted to bright, punk pastel hues, to which I credit my self-proclaimed optimism, my slice of sweet heaven. And then I jump to deep, vampire reds, gritty textures, and an omnipresent gray scale that seems to whisper ghost-like tunes. To these colors I credit my passion, curiosity, and empathy.

I believe in pain. But I also believe in hope too.

The French language developed interest in me upon the realization that I can speak in code. It's like speaking little truths in secret and no one deciphers unless they want to.

In high-school I found a little folklore band called Delta Rae, and my attachment to the intensity of their music ignited a little spark in me, that was truly always there, but perhaps dulled out. And parts of me previously turned away turned into drive for existence.

I crave work that reveals pain, because there is a rawness to it; an unapologetic admission of truths and souls most forgotten. I like to acknowledge pain, and in this unorthodox, I think there is beauty in it too. Appreciating pain is my own form of optimism. It's like saying: here is something I know; I want to know more, but I breathe strength in having known it.

These rhythmic edits are devilishly charming. Today Viet and I head to his place and the graveyard for shooting, where I suppose I will be frolicking and handing out flowers to some unknown friends.

Psst.

Here is the song I fell in love with.

And here is my dub idol version.

We were required to have accompaniment. So I picked out a nice trashcan.
