The idea of a background that strikes the eye harder than the focus is interesting and rarely explored. During my stay in New Jersey I visited the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where I was captured by a painting. It was not the focus or the detail or the colors that drew me to it. Rather it was the background, specifically three giraffes running around chaotically, flames running up their spines. This fabulously surreal painting grasped me more than any other I saw that day, and opened my eyes to the world of Salvador Dalí.
