At the MEHRANGARH SHOP.
Surprise. I bought art. a painting of a garden. it was heaven, the pigments, the exhibit. Garden. Cosmos, the feeling of being lost in the paintings. I didn’t plan to buy art, but resistance was futile.
In that place, with the pigment + the paintings, we could almost feel what it might’ve been like.
