The Good Wine

AUGUST 02, 2023

Summer of magical thinking

The Good Wine is not just about good wine — it is the savoring of decadence and long baths. It is slow dancing at a wedding, cinnamon rolls and the warmth of the sun.

My Good Wine is as simple as your craft beer, your aperol spritz, your various kinds of martini or your French 75.

Our environments and people we play

I play the part of being seen, my eyes light up with the imaginary spotlight of me being watched by strangers and acquaintances and embodying what they want from me.

Rotten birthday cake, savoring each slice of life
