Another whirlwind year at Art Basel ๐จ โ the crowds were overwhelming as always, but my curiosity kept me exploring ๐ง.
This visit revealed an amusing observation: art lovers wear exactly two types of “gallery expressions”:
1. The Sparkling Gaze ๐ when encountering masterpieces that resonate deeply, whether technically stunning or personally meaningful;
2. The Blank Stare ๐ when facing those perplexing contemporary pieces that leave you utterly bewildered.
(Confession: My art appreciation skills still need work ๐
)
*Major fan moment! The two electrifying works behind my first “Sparkling Gaze” photo (Figures 3-4) belong to aokizy โ an artist I’ve digitally stalked on IG for ages. Witnessing their vibrant energy in person? Absolutely magical โจ.
This year’s exhibition sprawled dramatically larger than last year’s โ I barely scratched the surface. Though admittedly, my progress was slowed by a noodle break ๐ and some strategic beer runs before closing time ๐ป. The foodie contingent marches to its own drumbeat, right? ๐บ
Post-fair traditions matter! I celebrated at my newest obsession, Busan Night โ where every visit feels like a culinary adventure ๐ฎ.
Their Osam Bulgogi (sizzling pork belly and squid combo) is life-changing,
while the seafood ramen makes the ultimate drinking companion ๐ถ.
But the showstopper? Their fried chicken โ crackling hot first bite revealing rivers of juicy perfection ๐.
Pro tip: Their draft beer arrives crowned with magical ice flakes โ pure genius ๏ฟฝโ๏ธ.
*Plot twist: My night ended with a stealthy Alice Pizza grab โ their Mortadella slice? A flavor bomb worth every calorie ๐๐ฅ.

Haha, I totally relate to those “Blank Stares”! There’s something about abstract art that either clicks instantly or just leaves you puzzled. It’s funny how our facial reactions seem to match the vibe of the artwork. Maybe they should add a “confused emoji” zone in galleries for people like me!
