The complexities
Of cold inhuman nature
Lead us all astray.

10/10- Salvation
How many have sought
The stairway to heaven
But found hell instead?
10/9- Despair
I feel recklessness.
Coursing through my veins like fire.
I’m past salvation.

For no man is an island
But maybe I’ll swim.

Echoing footsteps
Through familiar halls
Inside, my soul cries.

The end of obligation.
The wind in my hair.

I had a hard time deciding whether I wanted to focus on art that I made myself and the things I had at home and saw around the city that I found so enticing in the first place. So I ultimately did a combination of the two very different categories, yet the central theme I went for was a sense of color, whimsy and girliness. I went for things that spoke to me, such as the stickers that reminded me of why I began a collection of them in the first place, to the shoes from The Phantom of the Opera that make me wish I could walk around like a Victorian lady.
Two things I did keep in mind as I was choosing photos and as I was taking the photos themselves was that as much as I adore all things Ireland, only a few of the photos I took were ones I really enjoyed, which is why only the one with the flag is featured.
Secondly, just to add a sense of whimsy, I did try to give each of the photos a title that’s a line from a song or a well known saying, etc. and when I couldn’t manage that, I settled for stating the obvious. đ

Leading a wonderfully eccentric British cast, Damian Lewis plays Miloâ a contract killer suffering a rather premature midlife crisis and begins questioning the validity of a career that has defined his entire lifestyle.
