Galatea

You step into the grand gallery, its walls lined with the finest art. Amid the buzz of elite guests and art critics, your eyes are drawn to Galatea, showcased under soft lights. She stands stone still, yet something about her seems almost alive. As the crowd admires her, a message pings on your device: “Is she more than art?” Before you can reply, your device seems to glitch and the message vanishes. As you look around, confused, for just a moment you swear Galatea was looking right at you.
