I never thought I'd be the type to obsess over what to hang on a wall, but here I was, completely enamored with a ceramic flower that looked like it had been plucked from the fever dream of a color-blind mermaid. This wasn't just any wall art decor; it was a statement piece that screamed, "I have taste, and it's probably better than yours." The flower in question was a behemoth of blue, so large it threatened to swallow my entire living room. But oh, the glazing! Some artisan with far too much time on their hands had lovingly painted the tips a darker blue, as if the flower had dipped its petals in midnight. It was the kind of modern artwork that made you wonder if you'd accidentally wandered into a gallery opening instead of your own home. My sister, ever the voice of reason, asked, "Don't you think it's a bit... much?" I scoffed. "Darling, when has 'too much' ever been in my vocabulary?" As I hung it on the wall, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Here I was, a man who once thought art was limited to dogs playing poker, now the proud owner of a ceramic flower that could probably be seen from space. It was garish, it was bold, and it was absolutely perfect. "You know," I told her, "some people might say it's just a glorified dinner plate. But to me, it's a masterpiece. A blue, oversized masterpiece that says, 'I'm not afraid to let a giant ceramic flower dominate my living space.'" And really, isn't that what great art is all about?
