#1 - ABUSE

Intoxicated by the difficult environment, and distracted by the green ferns, she is abused without noticing all those burned out around her. Uncomfortable, she needs to hide behind the mask that is apparently feeding her life.

#2 - REWARD

Hiding behind a mask, not wanting to be identified as a victim. It is intoxicating outside even though it looks warm and sunny. Bare feet, dressed in white, almost like a goddess, but just one more in the middle of so many others who have been burned by the abusive wild fire. Yet, that little bittersweet orange reward brings a special feeling.

#3 - ACCOMPLISHMENT

It's the big day. Celebrating success and achievement. It is more intoxicating than ever. Back to the original mask and the original abuse. Having to hide now more than ever.

#4 - DESPAIR

No longer being able to handle it. Mask falls down. The need to be purified, to be washed from all the bad. Water mixed with tears. A long road ahead after a 180 degree turn.

#5 - RENEWAL

Still bruised from the abuse. Smoke is finally settling down. It still hurts but beauty can now be seen. Time to lookup with open eyes, renew yourself and rewrite history.
