Studying abroad in France was a dream come true. However after a month of lectures, notes, journals, outings and tests, we were exhausted by the time we reached Paris. This was taken during one of my few precious moments of free time, alone on the staircase of the Pompidu. It reminded me of why I was there, not just to learn about art but to feel the inspiration around me. There is an elegance about Paris unlike any other city, and in that moment I drank it in.
