“Art is anything and everything. It is an expressive, imaginative, and creative piece of aesthetic work; whether it is visual art, auditory music, dramatic theatre, performative dance, technical manufacture, grand architecture or appreciated literature. It has power to record our history and interpret our future; it gives a voice to empower those to convey a thought, message, an idea, opinion or meaning. It's what has given us a truly diverse world and culture and influenced us in many ways to always create and appreciate the skill, time and effort to bring forth something into existence.”

viewer deciphers the meaning of the piece in their own unique way. Art is
an intense form of communication where, at least in photography, no words are
used. Instead it's the pull of an emotion being invoked that lulls audiences
into the artists creation, thus forming a raw connection between creator and
beholder.”
