Unveiling once more:
In the realm of art and creativity, a voice echoes with a deep-rooted desire to understand, empathize, reflect, and interrogate. This author, driven by a need for expression rather than the pursuit of perfection or righteousness, uses their work as a platform to express outrage about injustices happening in the world.
The author believes that art should not be mere decoration, but a reflection of our feelings - love, compassion, anger, and frustration. It should aim to illuminate or ask questions, serving as a medium for communication, reflection, and sometimes social inclusion or education.
Art, in the author's perspective, is not just a humbling opportunity for viewers to learn and revisit the joy of surprise. It can also help individuals, such as refugees, navigate cultural and linguistic barriers, reshape belonging, and foster social inclusion.
However, the author does not guarantee success in their attempt to stand up for or talk about what makes them feel. Nor does their writing provide specific details about the things which make them feel or the injustices they are referring to. The purpose of their work, it seems, is not to provide a solution, but to express their frustration and confusion about the current state of humanity.
The author questions the division between "me" or "us" and "another," and wonders what it is that all humans ultimately want. They suggest that the current state of the world, with its arguments and politicisation, has led to the forgetting of basic human truths.
In the author's view, all humans are brought to this earth through an extraordinary series of miracles, and none of us have a choice about our circumstances such as where we are born, our parents, our skin color, or the weather. This perspective underscores the author's belief that it is not acceptable for such injustices to occur to people who have done nothing to deserve it.
The author's writing is associated with art, writing, and creativity at their most honest levels. It is a testament to the transformative power of art as a tool for expression, empathy, and social change. Whether it be a painting, a poem, a song, or a novel, art has the ability to connect us, to make us feel, and to spark meaningful conversations about the world we live in.
