I have noticed in recent times that we as a culture have taken on certain bad habits. These habits are not exactly new, but we are performing them at a scale to which I have never witnessed before. These habits I am speaking of are denial and outrage. We deny so strongly the things that make us human like vices, desires, and etc. yet we feel entitled to become outraged when seeing them in our daily lives. As if we are all innocent and once one crack shows Humpty Dumpty comes tumbling down. There is something clearly wrong with this picture and I feel the need to set us straight.

The scenes I have depicted would otherwise be ordinary however, there is something amiss in each. I wanted to show the most common things we hunger for in life that could also be the catalyst that we look for to separate ourselves from one another. If we do not stop these habits now, I fear where they will lead us. No more anger or denial; we are flawed and it is beautiful.
