the unexposed theme in this collection, darling, is like a crime against mundanity, positively criminal in its audacity to devalue conformity. each piece commands attention, not through brashness but through a preexpulsive energy that suggests movement and regeneration before the action even begins. by keeping the most daring elements unexposed, the designs regenerate interest and intrigue, inviting the observer to imagine what lies beneath, rather than presenting it all outright.
