Scenario

When artist friends share studio space but struggle with creative competition

My roommate and I both paint in our shared studio space and we've started unconsciously competing for the good light, the better wall space, the more dramatic compositions, and now the room feels charged with unspoken artistic jealousy. Neither of us wants to admit we're comparing our work constantly.
