Size holds no monopoly on value; rather, it is the essence and intricacy within a creation that truly determine its worth. In art, a meticulously crafted piece, regardless of its dimensions, can resonate deeply, capturing the imagination with its thoughtfulness and creativity. All work in this show is up to 15 inches only.
