pattern

Description

A pattern is a theatrical prop for thought that mistakes repeating the same mistakes for beauty. It only reveals itself when boredom peaks or an innovator loses their temper. It stands as society’s testament to believing that mass-produced conformity under the guise of design is comfortable. Often it is the projection of past triumphs onto the future, ensuring that nobody ever sees a new horizon.
