The vibrant colors of the unauthorized exhibition assaulted Clara's eyes. It was her art, her painstaking work, her soul poured into each stroke. Now, it was being used to sell overpriced cocktails and pretentious small talk. The very thought made her skin crawl.

She felt a hollowness in her chest, a sense of violation. It was as if someone had ransacked her home, stolen her most personal belongings, and put them up for sale. She wanted to scream, to shatter something.

She stood frozen for a moment, unable to move, the noise and the bright lights making her head spin. She wanted to be sick. Finally, she turned and fled, the gallery's bright lights chasing after her.
