Title quote from "West Coast" on The Love Collection - Single album by The Neighbourhood, 2013. Part of the "For Society" series, this abstract piece defines the state of our society today. Many are complacent with the workings of the government, popular culture, and their own standards, perceiving the surface as "perfect," and having their eyes disguise "dirt on purpose." The "perfect" view people have on these issues are represented by the light-colored flowers and prints that are overtop of and draws your attention away from the darker prints and flower that is the "dirt" your eyes "disguise."
