We often ask ourselves how art can heal or make us better understand the world around us. It's the function of art, isn't it? We may not have a universal or agreed upon definition of what art is or means, but we have an understanding that art is an expression of creativity in response to both personal and communal experiences. It's complicated, but good art makes you feel and understand something deeper about the human experience.
