Dear diary, I started writing an angry rant from a friend of someone who dragged them halfway across the world to see this. But then that would imply that this art piece isn’t worth something like that, which would just be rude. However, as I looked at the art piece trying to see what it invoked inside myself, I found nothing. I couldn’t think of anything other than to make it negative. So I decided to add it to my therapeutic healing journey. Just because I might not understand this piece of art doesn’t mean others don’t absolutely love it!
