Kasia Turajczyk - Much Ado About My Art

                                             When you stand for nothing, you fall for everything.                                                                   Drawing; Size A1; price: ask, the Year 2017- 2022  Update from 2022, December .  Finally, in August 2022, I finished the drawing based on my dream long ago.
