The eternal quest for perfectionism is something that unites the fields of sport and art.
In Budapest this week, they happen to collide.
As the World Athletics Championships gets under way at the Hungarian National Athletics Centre, the Ludwig museum just metres away is running an art exhibition that questions the perfectionism depicted on social media.
Maybe the Irish contingent of visiting fans descending on the sun-drenched city, faithfully following a special generation of talent, will find the time to take in both.
Perfectionism, after all, was what propelled this Irish team of athletes to compete on the global stage, with the hope of podium places to follow.
Over 2,000 athletes from 200 countries will be in attendance, 24 of whom will be Irish - the biggest team Ireland has ever had at a World Championships.
It includes many marquee names - among them middle distance runner Ciara Mageean and rising star Rhasidat Adeleke.
Ms Mageean, from Portaferry, Co Down, is one of our genuine medal contenders.
She won a silver medal at the European championships in Munich last year, a dominant force in the 1500 metres, with three European podium places to her credit.
Much of the focus ahead of these championships has been on Ms Adeleke.
The 20-year-old from Tallaght in Dublin, is one of our most exciting prospects.
From her base at the University of Texas she has taken America by storm – she is the first Irish sprinter to win a prestigious National Collegiate Athletics Association title.
This year alone Ms Adeleke has broken her own 200m and 400m records on multiple occasions.
In mid-July, she announced she was turning professional and came second to world champion Shericka Jackson in her first race as a pro.

Hurdler Sarah Lavin's career appears to be on an upward curve too.
The Limerick native recently set five personal bests in the space of six days, so she is arriving to these Championships in scintillating form.
Look out too for Mark English in the 800m 1500m Irish record holder Andrew Coscoran and Brian Fay in the 5000m.
Mr Fay is a quadruplet – will that four-way sibling rivalry give him some unique sort of edge on the final lap?
Sophie O’Sullivan goes in the 1500m, her process will be monitored closely by a woman who won a gold medal at the world championships back in 1995 - Sophie is Sonia O’Sullivan’s daughter.
Sophie’s mum and Eamon Coghlan almost 40 years ago have the unique distinction of being the only Irish athletes to win medals on the track at the world championships.
Ireland’s race walkers, though, have managed to secure podium places.
Ireland had only one top eight finish at the last world championships.
What lies ahead this time round over the course of the nine days by the banks of the Danube, has yet to run its race.
