"Through an artist's eyes"

 Ever thought what visiting an art gallery would be like? Well, me too! Not being able to say that I have experienced it, made me visit it. And it gave me quite an impression. After deciding to visit the art gallery, I faced a problem... finding the location. After some wrong turns, I finally made it.

Whoa was my initial reaction... These "steps" that were on top of the entrance deserve a picture because they were really unusual-looking and slightly moving in the wind. But when I got closer, I saw that you couldn't actually use them, so I realized that the only reason they were there was for the exhibition's aesthetic appeal. 

A security guard then welcomed me at the door and confirmed
that I was in the correct location. As I entered, the receptionist provided me directions and a map, both of which were quite helpful.

When I went inside, I was shocked to discover some metallic tables and other metallic equipment which I believed didn't belong there because I had anticipated to see just paintings.

There were several whips and huge

handcuffs, and I had the strangest impression since it appeared to me like they were being employed as torture tools.Fortunately, though, they were only works of art whose sole intent was to enhance the experience at the exhibition because they were unusual for an art gallery.

However after that, I noticed a funny thing on the wall: a hand pointing in one direction while holding a pepper on its index finger.I assumed this combination was made because red attracts people more than any color. I decided to follow it because I believed it was pointing in the direction I should go in next, as if something was waiting there for me.

As I moved in that direction, I overheard some whispery sounds that were quite creepy. I was concerned because I realized there weren't any people there; who was creating these noises, then? Even though I wasn't sure if I should go in there, I did, and I was shocked to see that it was a projector that was showing a road. I was quite interested, so I moved closer to check the subtitles after realizing that it was not a language I could understand. When reading the subtitles, I suddenly had chills.The line "For a broken heart you need a complete generation of the soul" caught my attention since, in my opinion, it has a very profound meaning.As there isn't any medicine, piece of advice, location, or item in existence that will ever heal a broken heart and return it to its previous state.

Another element that caused me to second-guess everything was the short film's finale, which said "the world has ended" and remained in place for a long period of time. That gave me the chills. What if I hadn't unintentionally seen that part? Maybe I was truly intended to see it and something important was going to occur, but I chose not to dwell too much on it.

 I then decided it was time for me to go.I was given a brochure by the receptionist as I was leaving, which I really appreciated since I now had something to look back on and remember this day.So, would I visit again or encourage someone to visit an art gallery? Oh yes, I definitely would !! My experience today made me realize what I had missed out on … so if I were you, I wouldn’t keep waiting and visit as soon as possible.
