pyrotechnics

Description

A spectacle of brief brilliance in the night sky that in reality multiplies public spending and arson inspectors’ headaches. A social stress-relief device that crashes gunpowder and audience expectations into each other. Behind the glitter lies the drudgery of cleanup and complaint handling. In the rising smoke, people savor fleeting wonder and escape, only to stumble back into their mundane routines by morning.
