- Description
- The left page displays a photograph of a pair of high-heeled shoes in various colors (red, pink, beige, blue, and black) placed on a white platform. The background is a vibrant mix of red and blue hues with diagonal shadows. Below the photograph, handwritten text reads, "When you try to kill the human spirit, it gets its revenge with beauty." The right page contains handwritten notes in red and black ink. The red text reads, "The love that lives in our soul! Toward teachings that are universal, with resolve, with hope, with great love." Below, in black ink, it says, "How deep is the outrage? How deep is the love?" Further down, it notes, "12.14.16. This gold book has inadvertently been reflective of the recent election. 116.028 won. 214-546-8131. Gold isn't reflective of 'golden' or anything Vicki - but of all that is boastful and superficial." At the bottom, it is signed "Christian Macorix."
