Gold Doesn't Heal
A wound under the gold
Money covers a lot. It doesn’t fix this. The gold catches your eye first, and the damage is what stays with you.

MEET COREY WESLEYFaces tell a story before we even say a word. This is my creative expression of the human face and the emotions we all experience.
