statues bought in France’ hanging here and there haphazardly.\u003cbr\u003e These objects, each with their own unique birthplace and appearance, are all gathered together, each holding their own memories.\u003cbr\u003e While everyone was jumping on the minimalism bandwagon that was sweeping social media, the author placed unique and colorful objects and lights throughout her
