Luxury is the color of gold and resides in the yellow-orange hues of the desert sand. "We are going to Qatar,
where the rich indulge in falconry. Let's not be fooled by the roaring engines of luxury SUVs racing through the

composes a loose diptych with Whipping Zombie; the hierarchy, an economy of expression, and ubiquitous
wealth of Qatar versus Haiti’s chaotic, noisy poverty.
