I have always admired style and beauty. Form, shape, line, and colour.

Colour.

White: skin, roses, calla lilies, coats.

Black: hair, leather couches, ink, clothing.

Red: blood, sheets, lines, cigarette butts.

Green: eyes, glass vases, flower stems, grass.

Life. Death.

Life. Death.

Death. Life.

Life. Death.

Think of the new world I can show you.

So, heads or tails?
