PALACE, MIRE, FORM

Made in a lab for your viewing pleasure.

PALACE

Growth worms and warps itself in all ways. It pierces dull and bright through the smallest cracks and crevices. Each beam reflects itself tenfold, inward and outward, from millions of microscopic mirrored glasses, until it becomes so bright that it blinds, lashing furiously within every pulsating, fleshuous cavity, and beams through the cracks. Childhood insecurity forms adult fear, mirrored and directed all ways.

Fear is distributed. It cannot create itself and nobody can be born with it. Fear is instilled. It moulds into grotesque hatred, passed around until everyone is drenched in wet terror. It envelops and when it becomes everything, it forms social groups and passes legislation. It is the infinite defensive capability of the mind, self-protective and self-abolishing. The safest space is dissociation and victimisation, a cyclical retreat into turtle shell, where everything is safe.

To release fear is to become better. To live authentically is superhuman. Allowing yourself the innocence to trust and love when hate is monetised is beautiful.

PALACE is the embrace of love and the rejection of fear. It is building bricks and it is movement. PALACE will always build towards the impossible dream of existing in spaces of true authenticity and love, and the recognition that reflection and radical embracement are key.

MIRE

Reach outwards and inwards to evolve interconnectedly. Abandoning expectations to create your own fungal root map of support and love, choosing your surroundings and people, is a universal concept. It is moving beyond feasibility, away from what you know and even further from what others do, building mental PALACE as a framework and sprinting into the abyss.

Interconnectedness is love left uncaged. It is when lines set out for expression reach roots outward, form the fungi, and water the flora. True love can only be felt once you abandon every pre-set role and envelop yourself in community, leaving behind every nuclear concept, and actively rejecting all tradition that exists without reason. MIRE explores, tapping through swampy dirt with root and surfacing in puddle when right. MIRE is opening yourself up to new wet marsh, and drinking from whichever source works for you.

FORM

Evolution and change is constant. To expect anybody to stay the same is futile. PALACE bricks infinitely cycle through destruction of self, and reform into bliss. This is not always a positive experience for me. My constant need for change often leads to genuine pain when I am not able to express the way I want to. When I don’t have the resources, when I am stuck in a situation that won’t let me move forward, or when I am held back by mental baggage, I am led to some of the most excruciating mental environments that I can live within. Feeling the freedom to express has become a delicate and essential need.

FORM is using past selves as springboards into a newly infinite cathartic party. It is erection of monuments and reclamation of the broken apocalypse into root and flower-covered cities, perceptions sent into mind-breaking turmoil and rebuilt in new form. It is infinite

Expansion; a celebration of genuine innovation.
