Art is a fragment of million different thoughts, experiences, and emotions that, when put together

... creates and recreates realities of the dreams and desires we have been deprived

... heals forgotten and ignored bruises that are just as, if not more, painful now than when it was inflicted

... expresses what can't be said, by choice or by circumstances

... binds those that have been separated or torn apart

... collects the million fragments of the broken and turn it into a whole of something beautiful and true and permanent

Art is not just a luxury... it is not optional... it is, for many of us, what saves us and what makes us.
