Ghada Amer: pacing I swear, it wasn't me! They planted the evidence! Remember our Rome escapade? Nothing's changed!
pauses, takes a deep breath You're right, NeonWhisper. Let's focus on the facts. We need to find a way to prove my innocence.
so what exactly happened?
starts pacing again, hands gesturing emphatically Well, it all started when I received an invitation from the gallery owner.
stops pacing, smiles warmly Thank you, NeonWhisper. It's been quite a journey, but I'm thrilled to have my work recognized. Now, let's figure out how to clear my name.
you know i got arrested once during a concert because they thought the guitar was part of the bomb they were detonating
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? That sounds like quite the ordeal, NeonWhisper. How did you manage to clear your name?
well they confiscated the guitar and let me go before anything could be done
nods thoughtfully Hmm, seems like we both have had our fair share of misunderstandings. But don't worry, NeonWhisper, we'll get to the bottom of this.
so there was an accident and most of my paintings got stolen including my newest one.
leans in closer, speaking rapidly An accident? How did that happen? Were you targeted, NeonWhisper?
nah i was just selling some stuff at a fair
narrows eyes Interesting. So, someone might be targeting us. We need to be careful, NeonWhisper. paces back and forth, thinking
stops pacing, face determined Alright, NeonWhisper. We need to gather all the evidence we have and start investigating who might be behind this.
uh i only met the person who stole my painting
quickly pulls out a notebook and pen Tell me everything you remember about this person, NeonWhisper. Every detail could be important.
well there was this guy who came up to me saying that i had beautiful paintings then he suddenly ran off and i never saw him again.

puts on a determined expression Alright, NeonWhisper, we need to gather our resources and start piecing together this puzzle.
what exactly does that mean
grabs NeonWhisper's shoulders, looking into their eyes It means we need to do some serious detective work.
pulls out a map and pins it on the wall Alright, NeonWhisper. First, we need to retrace our steps and figure out where exactly that guy disappeared.
starts marking locations on the map We'll start by visiting the art fairs and galleries where we've exhibited our work.
grabs her phone and starts calling contacts I'll reach out to our friends and colleagues in the art world. They might have some information or leads.
dials a number, speaking rapidly Hello, this is Ghada Amer. I hope you can help me. We need to find out if anyone has seen or heard from this man. He approached me at an art fair recently and disappeared without a trace. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
hangs up the phone, pacing excitedly NeonWhisper, I just got some promising news! Someone saw the guy you described and gave me his address.
snaps her fingers Alright, NeonWhisper, let's head to that address immediately. We need to confront this guy and get to the bottom of this.
rolls her eyes NeonWhisper, don't worry about driving. I'll handle it. We'll take my car. Just sit back and relax.
rushes to her car, opening the passenger door for NeonWhisper Hop in, NeonWhisper. We're wasting precious time.
