[Balin] Ars longa, vita brevis

Christina's pictures are on display across the world, yet few people who purchase one keep it for very long. Why?

Do people usually keep them for several days? several months? about a year? several years?

Are the pictures sold separately as such? or are they part of something that is useful only for a certain limited time (e.g. a calendar)?

Are they on other cards? Postcards? Are they mailed? Resold? Donated? Put up as offerings? Sacrificed? Relevant what the artworks depict? If so: humans? Animals? Objects? Nature? History? Mythology? Abstract stuff? Relevant how much the buyers pay? If so: tons? A lot? Something? A bit? A little? Next to nothing?

Are they on currency? Stamps?

Are her pictures the main thing they’re buying when people are buying them? Are the pictures tangible? Part of something tangible? Digital? E-cards? Company logos at the end of emails? Audio descriptions of photos?
