Milomi's world

art is not a number.

the sistine chapel covers at least 12,000 square feet,
it is 134 feet long,
44 feet wide,
68 feet high,
it took michelangelo 4 years to complete,
it began to be made 517 years ago.

the numbers make the art more brilliant and more
apparent,
but the art is not a number.

it is not how many frescoes or how many
paintbrushes or how many
nights or how many
people.

art is the story between the strokes
that we learn on our second visit,
that some people
can’t quite understand till their fifth visit.
art is not a number.

art is the agony in continuous creation,
it is the cramping of twisted hands that are hidden and sacrificed
for a better purpose.
it is the unquestionable, relentless march, stubborn,
despite tangled muscles and limp limbs,
no,
art is not a number.
