    Mesmerizing and haunting…the twirling Standard Oil sign is hypnotic. The terrifyingly shiny and perfectly curled hairdos are a beautiful visual to end with. The crying boy on his mother’s lap and the way she picks him up as if shaking him worked really well with the text. How many layers are going on at once? It’s so nicely textured. Where did the music come from? Did you pick the music first and then edit, or did you form the piece and then added music? Just curious. They flow so well together. Bravo! More! xo, Jen
