Van-Gogh-Straße

Five months into my stay, I had exhausted the museums and galleries. They were fine, brilliant in fact, but I soon desired inspiration from something no one before me had already witnessed. I took interest in studying that which was newer- the people around me. Sure, as a whole the Czechs are a people that have been around for centuries, but as I looked closer I realized that they were changing every day. That different people moved in and out of my vision at all given moments. Often, I only had but brief moments to witness or interact with their existence; and then they went as quickly as they came. No one could hang them in a gallery, or place them on display in an exhibit for others to replicate for years to come. In my mind, they were all mine, and it was up to me to enlighten the world with their stories.
