Holographic Field ~ Window Gazer

Window Gazer stares out at a world cuddled by blue skies and rich in its open-ended diversity, a world that is all the better (and healthier) for its many multinational and multicultural connections. Europe, take note. Sadly, this minuscule blue orb is home

Krojc / Fischerle ~ John, Betty and Stella
