Corner of a colorful gallery hall with a few women and children enjoying the art. A ballet dancer is watched by a child as she performs with her hands in the air. Gallery exhibitions include: a photo of a window with numerous taut strings mimicking rays of light coming in. A painting of three girls playing with sand on a beach. Two hardly visible paintings of buildings and natural landscapes. Photos of the same ballet dancer who is present in the hall in different dance poses. And a photo of the cellist with his instrument who played during the performance from which the photos are from.
