Contentment is hard to come by. We hanker for it, seek it in its purest form, however which way we can, and quest for it in everything we do. Yet, for all our chasing, we may never quite ‘get it’. In Quintessence of Contentment, Genavee Lazaro’s Cactus Friends, larger than life, offer a glimpse of just that. At peace with their surroundings, with one another, and with themselves, some loll back unfazed, while others have fallen fast and unabashedly asleep. With that, they beckon us passersby to join them, to lounge in earned respite from the hustle and bustle and bask in the sublimity of everyday humdrum.
