The vibrant colors of the unauthorized exhibition felt like a punch to the gut. The unauthorized gallery had been set up to display her creations. Every brushstroke, a secret shared, every shade a confession. Now, the gallery’s empty space mocked her. She had poured her feelings into her paintings only for them to be used to make someone else famous. She clenched her fists, nails digging into her palms. Her vision blurred, tears pricking her eyes.
