An artist's internal struggle with self-expression leads him to rediscover himself in the most unexpected of places.
Dimitrije Bugarski, a well-known artist in Qatar, realizes he lost himself as an artist, as he no longer creates for himself. He feels trapped by society's expectations for his art, causing him to shy away from creating authentic pieces. He immediately disassociates from his work, as they cease to bear an emotional connection to him. To find himself once more, he seeks out abandoned places to freely paint whatever his mind, heart, and soul desire. He feels most at peace with himself as an artist when he is painting alone on broken walls.
