Growing up‚ I have always wanted a puppy. I begged my parents for them to take me to a pet store and buy me a puppy but I could never convince them. I have even written long letters requesting for a pet and a huge essay on why I needed one.

When thinking about what we perceive as modern art‚ my mind often wanders to the abstracted work of the cubists‚ most notably the work of Pablo Picasso.
