Rejected Gallery

I DEVOTED HALF OF MY LIFE TO ESTABLISHING AN ART SCHOOL WHICH UNFORTUNATELY CAME AT THE COST OF NEGLECTING MY OWN CREATIVITY. /

I ASKED MYSELF, DOES THAT MAKE MY WORK AND MYSELF LESS DESERVING OF RECOGNITION AND ATTENTION? /

IN ORDER TO SURVIVE IN THE ART SCENE, YOU HAVE TO BELONG TO THE COMMUNITY, TO FIT IN. /

WE SENT OUR PROPOSAL TO EVERYONE, FROM PUBLISHING HOUSES TO MEDIA OUTLETS, BUT ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THEM SHOWED ANY INTEREST IN IT. /

ANY REJECTION I RECEIVED MADE ME FEEL WORTHLESS. NOW THE ATTITUDE IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. /
