My project makes use of public space by highlighting mundane objects. I expose these objects by using artist's frames to raise questions on how should we view art. Why do people tend to revere things labeled as "art" no matter how simple? Why do we take "art" so seriously? How do we know if artists take their "art" seriously? how do we know if any thought is put into a work of "art"? What draws the line between something normal and something that is "art"?
