Reflections The art and music seriously takes you places.

Reflections I like a lot of this artwork because no matter how you look at it you are not being judged about the type of person that you are, but rather the feeling that your mind evokes. Even in the music, it is not about the words, or even the accent of the singer, but the rawness and passion that was put into it.
