Trick-shot

Glares dart across the deep ocean blue of vintage table play. A suspenseful trio saturated in seductive energy. Unconventional pool. Cozy yet slightly uncomfortable. A cinematic description of a consciously mature competition. Attentive demeanors contrast dancing pigments while welcoming an otherworldly escape from the mundane. Ocher oozes down dated wallpaper leaving a glaze of gleaming yellow. It is subconsciously a way to distract emotionally while simultaneously exposing the flaws of existence. Sleek sticks aiming to shoot dice. Unconventional pool. Delusional cinematic hues cause figures to lose grip of reality, allowing them to transform into personas other than themselves. Within this fantasy, we perceive what appears to be ordinary while subtly being made conscious of the obscurity of the subconscious.
