 :: have you ever felt like you've blended into the background? ::

:: have you ever felt invisible? ::

:: have you ever felt faceless? ::

:: have you ever felt like people can see right though you? ::

:: have you ever felt like you don't know where you end and the rest of the world begins? ::

:: have you ever suffered so hard for art, for beauty, for the beauty of art, that it hurt? ::

:: have you ever felt blinded by beauty? ::

:: by art? ::
