This decade broke me in order to make me the person I was afraid to be, but nonetheless the person I needed to be, the person I was destined to be.
Human Interactions
29 Rooms
If you’re visiting 29 ROOMS I highly suggest bringing a fun friend with you because there will be a long wait. If I’m being completely honest I was a little underwhelmed by this installation.
