"disharmony" - something I often have in this city. We have here a lot of social and other problems, but outwardly we are working hard to show the gloss, luxury and excellence. Everything is for the show. Moscow is one of the most of expensive cities in terms of accommodation. Some people here are building castles with six meters high fences. It's here still you need to think 10 times before you come into a very expensive store, because you can realize that you are not corresponding. About the Porsche. For me this is the striking example of highly specific luxury car. So... for a rich part of Moscow, it's a kind of symbol (female version), as well as Bentley (male). But for some reason, looking into the eyes of the holders of all this stuff, there is no sincere desire to follow their aspirations.

ps - And excuse me for my clumsy English ;)

I love the evening sky with the polluting stacks and heavy haze. It would be an interesting artistic experiment to portray the excess of consumption. Owning a few nice "things" is fundamental to how both our cultures measure "success" in social terms. What most people need is a reevaluation of the word "success" as it should be personally defined. An individual's excessive consumption, or "never having enough" is truly disharmony. The irony is that having expensive goods never fulfills a lasting happiness, but frequently fuels the desire for more in a never ending spiral of dissatisfaction. Someone once said that "the more things you own, the more things own you". Your English is clear and well stated. I wish we had a way to merge our languages to be more precise in our expressions.  But that's what art offers us all!
