Art galleries are a place to lose oneself in a world that reflects different dimensions of the reality we know. We can be transported across different eras, cultures and countries and experiance the life we could have lived, had our fates been different. Moreover, each person viewing the work within the frames has their own story to tell- whether it be an enthusiastic Art student to a inquisitive elderly man.

One Perfect Rose

A single flow’r he sent me, since we met.

All tenderly his messenger he chose;

Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet—

One perfect rose.

I knew the language of the floweret;

“My fragile leaves, ” it said, “his heart enclose.”

Love long has taken for his amulet

One perfect rose.

Why is it no one ever sent me yet

One perfect limousine, do you suppose?

Ah no, it’s always just my luck to get

One perfect rose.

— Dorothy Parker
