The art fair was a bust, or so Chloe initially thought. Her paintings, bold and abstract, weren't garnering much attention. Then, she saw a comment on her latest Instagram post. It was Ms. Petrov, her art teacher, praising her use of color. And just as she looked, a notification popped up.

A surge of energy coursed through her. She ran her hand through her hair, smoothing it back, and straightening her shoulders. She turned back to the gallery, and she looked at the paintings differently, newly energized.

Suddenly, she realized the arrangement of her work was all wrong. She began rearranging the paintings, shifting the lighting and the order. Her work seemed suddenly richer, more vibrant.
