Unrestrained Desire
A young artist by the name of Gamardi found himself lured by the mysterious smile of the Mona Lisa while wandering the busy streets of contemporary Paris. He was overcome by a wave of emotions when she cast a curious look his way. Gamardi set out on a path that would combine fiction, dishonesty, and the depths of infatuation after being inspired by her allure.

Hundreds of Fields, Hundreds of Canvases
Paris. 1874. Olivia sits in a field, before a canvas. She has sat in hundreds of fields, before hundreds of canvases, over a period of hundreds of years. By now, the brushstrokes come as easily as breathing: the force of three centuries of habit. But never before has she tried to keep the motions so loose; to lay on the paint so thick and ridged. Never has she aimed to capture the view as her eye sees it, nakedly and without interpretation—in blocks of color and in fleeting impressions of movement.

The Punishment of Lust
The breath of the sun as it rises doesn’t warm me, but it is a welcome change to the daggers of the night. The sharp winds don’t feel so bad when you can hear the birds’ quivering tweets too.

Wanderlust
Thin air burned in his lungs. For a moment, just a hint of a moment, he considered the wagon slowly trundling along behind him. But that was pointless, he would still only be able to travel at the pace of the slowest porter; and besides, it was better to spare the horses at these altitudes. Not for the first time, he looked around as a broad grin split his face. Mountains are never so glorious as when one is on foot between their massive shoulders.

Painted Pros
- The soldier stood atop the tiller gazing out at the unending blue with a sense of giddy horror. The vastness revealed in all its glory under the clear skies. No land was visible from any angle as the sentry made slow, monotonous laps of the exterior. It was a strange sense to be so alone with so many others. Surrounded, yet together, utterly isolated.

The Ghosts of Men
The ghosts of men walk orderly; an army in defeat. They blindly roam the block—round and round they march. Why they've chosen this friendly neighborhood we'll never know. But there they go. Haunting the crisp air. Day in, day out.

B.I. Mona Lisa
“Mona, you keep moving. You will need to hold very still.” “How still, Mr. Leo?” “Still like my stargazing eyes, or my steady hand. Watch, as it intrinsically strokes and caresses the page with all these magnificent symmetrical shapes and color. Marvelous! How about it, Mona?”
