Art is an expression of the will and feelings of the artist and thusly are subconsciously intertwined to form a beautiful blend of the material and immaterial. The argument can be made that an artist can represent himself one way through his art and contrast drastically in the real world. I firmly believe that an artist does not have to represent his true…

Identity is made up of who people are and characteristics that define them. Overtime, artists express the concept of identity through portraits, self-portraits, photography, videography and many more medias.

world. One form of art that particularly caught my eye, was the art of 3-D chalk drawings on street canvasses.

Kurt throughout his childhood…
