There is people who is paid by the national lowest wage to be surround by art from month to month, there is people paid millions to own a piece of art but never look at it, there is a girl waiting to get inspiration, there is a girl opens up her eyes seeing the unknown, and there is an artist under the spotlight, and an artist finding herself in her backyard.
