Transparency

Transparency is highlighted when one juxtaposes life encased in a luxurious home and what life was like once before. The elegantly raunchy styling strikes a balance between an opulent existence within a large, concrete mansion (complete with a built-in aquarium) and being wild at heart; wanting to push boundaries. Creating a life of luxury… but not forgetting the origin of one’s roots.

Being transparent and vulnerable with yourself and those around you has become a game that most are not willing to play. It’s far easier to showcase the materialistic fetishes that one owns rather than be open about one’s intimate struggles and insecurities. This is a difficult challenge. While one becomes more secure, the gates to one’s soul become guarded and sutured. Material possessions often take precedence over a willingness to take risks, be honest, and prioritize personal values. In the end, wouldn’t it have been much more rewarding if we had embraced uncertainty and been transparent with one another?
