"Isn't it wonderful?" the gallery owner beamed, gesturing towards the installation. "So much… innovation." Clara stared at her manipulated textile art, rearranged and misrepresented. A cold wave washed over her, and she felt the blood drain from her face.

A little girl, no older than five, reached out and touched the soft, undulating fabric of the piece. Clara saw a look of pure wonder on her face. The girl's parent was trying to pull her away. Clara found herself moving towards them, a quiet offer to explain the piece, to let the girl understand what her hands were feeling, and the story her eyes were seeing.
