Jupiter’s Orb
The world always feels volatile and it’s not fully clear if that’s something that has always been at play or a force that has fortified itself through years and years of re-calibration.

Simultaneously, casting a shade of doubt on even the most institutional fixtures.
Every art piece, piece of writing or musical composition, government policy, generational family practice or facet of being becomes a refection of temporary structure.
