BLACK GLOSSY POOL



























The black glossy pool bottom is the lack inside everyone of us, that we try to fill it up with food, alcohol, clothes, drugs, objects, that promise to fill you up, but instead empty yourself. This is the cause of our infinite emptiness but the lack is not the the void and it is impossible to fill it.
