About "Velvet and Pearls"

Exploring contrasts; of black and white, soft and hard, innocence against artfulness and corruption. The na[0xC3AF]ve and trusting vs disillusionment and even evil? The vulnerable open to nurture or harm... A childs pure, limitless soul/life/future lies in the hands of its protectors ...or abusers.
