'Moths To the Flames'

When I was taking this image, the idea was to portray the brainwashing media system that lures people in its pleasurable incentives and keeps them there. The reality is sacrificed for repetitive dreams of pleasure, wealth, control, the false freedom offered through veils and veils of an illusion people are willing to believe in because TV program, Internet and all other channels strongly support it. People behind the scenes are creating our views, making us believe in things that are not real.

From afar, the fake glitter looks luring and promising, offering change, hope and whatever else a person needs to believe it will change his/her life so that she/he doesn't need to make an effort. The real content comes from within, from own mind, from own feelings, from own decisions. It's easier to believe in grand-scale illusion served daily, than understand that only the reality of the present moment is actually real. Media 'truths' are illusions, distractions causing frustration, depriving people of happiness.

Welcome to the land of illusions they are creating for us to believe in. Realize that all the glitter quickly vanishes once a person comes closer. Or, better yet, accept the reality and live your life with pleasure. It is a real life, find again what is around you and be thankful for it. There is no other life waiting somewhere, only dreams put in your mind by the media. Instead of searching for what they've told you that exist, rather appreciate people who are here for you, love the ones who care for you. Show respect out of love, don't show hate coming from the frustration of uncaught dreams. It's the right path to the real happiness. Avoid all the shining glitter someone is trying to make you believe is real.

Enjoy! :)
