#Deep Cleaning

New Year Cleaning is the annual ceremony that pretends to expel the year's stockpile of trash and unfinished tasks, while in reality conscripting family or housemates into a few hours of self-loathing and back pain. Faced with mountains of dust, one inevitably excavates their own procrastination habits and worships cleaning tools like sacred relics. By dawn on January 1st they must not forget that the cluttered kingdom will mercilessly revert back. Its fleeting sparkle offers a mirage of order that vanishes by the time the first work email arrives.
