<\/p><\/p>
The fear of the unknown,<\/p>
swimming in open waters,<\/p>
of what lurks beneath,<\/p>
But it isn\u2019t the dark<\/p>
that frightens us,<\/p>
but the certainty of our reflection within it.<\/p>
We call it light, but it\u2019s really a kind of forgiveness<\/p>
for all the things we never quite became:<\/p>
the things we tried to drown in daylight,<\/p>
the versions of ourselves we only meet<\/p>
in the honest hours,<\/p>
when we should be asleep.<\/p>
There\u2019s a strange democracy in the dark,<\/p>
listening to the kettle begin its faithful warble.<\/p>
So we keep a night light on,<\/p>
not to see,<\/p>
but to believe,<\/p>
to let someone, somewhere, know<\/p>
that we are still burning a light for them.<\/p>

Smoking is deeply embedded within the cinematic style of Classic Hollywood, but intentionally so. It was heavily sponsored by tobacco companies who wanted their products to be associated with characters exhibiting the traits of being 'cool'. Cinematic smoking plays a role in the dialogue itself, punctuating speeches with drawn out pauses, inhales and exhalations, which in turn act like a metronome for good conversations. This collection, from a present day reality, are inspired by these films, reading like stills from this bygone era.","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/j0msicj0kmespdxguagz2qekslk91kwl2jcdf6oifoms9sfm.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/j0msicj0kmespdxguagz2qekslk91kwl2jcdf6oifoms9sfm.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0}],"labels":[]}
