Have you ever thought about being a living statue? This reminds me of greek mythology and Gorgon, who could turn people into statues. Anyway, now it's not a myth, it's a kind of art. Walking down the central streets of a city you can notice that some statues blink sometimes or even move. When I look at them and understand that they are alive people like me, I understand how much of work is this transformation. It is real beauty and we should enjoy it. Who knows, maybe,one day you'll be staying on the pedestal, covered with gold paint?
