According to Ramesh Khanal, founder of Arupan Art Gallery, he brought the stickers from California after visiting the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. “When I visited the museum, I was searching for something, to bring back home, and I saw a shop nearby, selling stickers. So, I bought the stickers for an exhibit,” he said.
