On October 25 I found an eccentric style of artwork. As I was walking through the Nerman Museum looking for a piece of artwork that spoke to me. I wandered through many sculptures made from different types of material‚ and gazed upon clay pots with vibrant colors and engravings. All were beautiful and extravagant‚ but‚ as I looked nothing caught my eye. I rounded one of the very last rooms of the Nerman museum and there it was.

He doesn’t seem to understand most of his feelings or
