colour and the destruction of the holy

bright colours are rare things in nature, except perhaps for sunsets and sunrises. other than that, they are the rarest productions of the forest and meadow, gifts where the sun powers its own chromatic transformation through the flowing engines of the botanical and avian worlds. i find the superfluous use of red, pink, orange, and violet disrespectful and also damaging to the human soul. the abundance of these colours in industrial materials, in paint, clothes, posters and plastics, desensitizes us to the original glory of their sensual essence and prevents us from feeling the humble lesson that these colours have taught us throughout the centuries. to celebrate the proper etiquette towards nature and to regain our visual sensitivity let's clad our being in neutered hues!
