Decoration Is Not a Crime

1

Purity is a lie wrapped in white walls

Every minimal surface hides a hunger for color. We simply stopped hiding.

2

Clashing colors tell the truth

Pink beside mustard offends the eye the way honesty offends polite company.

3

Every surface deserves its own voice

A bare table is a mute object. Terrazzo, dots, and squiggle make it sing.

4

Ugliness is the last honest freedom

The moment decoration stops seeking approval, design begins to speak.
