Art has a way of telling a story whether it is a painting of fairies, which brings a sense of peace, but obviously, fairies are not real, or a painting of a old woman sitting in a rocking chair may show age as beauty, to a portrait of a soldier showing history.

I have an incredible amount of trouble getting used to new practices in music, but I realize that just because I do not understand it does not negate the fact that it is a form of expression that the world uses to evoke its true potential.…
