Famous pop artist Andy Warhol once said, “I’m afraid that if you look at a thing long enough it loses all its meaning.” On the contrary, art still can convey a clear meaning no matter how many times it is experienced.

Within the process of creating art, an individual takes inspiration from all that they are surrounded with and a big…
