  • Desert Road

    Sage hangs from a rear-view mirror to impart wisdom while a prayer for peace meets mysticism. All things that are left wild are better left untouched by the fingerprint of Man as he travels to a burning oasis in the desert only to find his vision cleansed as he looks further.

  • Euphemism
