25:33 progress really we're getting sort of a

25:33 progress really we're getting sort of a sneak peek ooh before we even get to the

25:35 sneak peek ooh before we even get to the

25:35 sneak peek ooh before we even get to the forest look at this piece Stone 11 see

25:39 forest look at this piece Stone 11 see

25:39 forest look at this piece Stone 11 see that's awesome now imagine you're from

25:40 that's awesome now imagine you're from

25:40 that's awesome now imagine you're from the city right you're living in Brooklyn

25:42 the city right you're living in Brooklyn

25:42 the city right you're living in Brooklyn where could you set up a piece of art

25:45 where could you set up a piece of art like this where could you indulge your

25:47 like this where could you indulge your

25:47 like this where could you indulge your creativity and if you think this is big

25:49 creativity and if you think this is big

25:49 creativity and if you think this is big would you look at the size of this we're

25:53 would you look at the size of this we're

25:53 would you look at the size of this we're a little bit confused everything's so

25:54 a little bit confused everything's so

25:54 a little bit confused everything's so new the paths are new we're not sure if

25:57 new the paths are new we're not sure if

25:57 new the paths are new we're not sure if we're going the right direction yet or

25:58 we're going the right direction yet or

25:58 we're going the right direction yet or not we probably should have looked at
