Art is a medium that can reveal to people fundamental life themes, conflicts, and possible solutions. At the beginning, you immerse yourself intensively in an artwork: you observe and take notes. In the subsequent conversations, through your individual experience of the images, you will penetrate to the core of the work. Unburdened by knowledge of art, the artwork can take effect and convey its messages, and thus, in part, becomes your artwork.
