Art is a mechanism by which the artist turns the simple into the phenomenal, the static into the dynamic, the two dimensional into the three dimensional, and can be looked at through the lens of Gestalt psychology--the concept that the work as a whole is different from the sum of its individual parts.

It is a macrocosm of how people interact and work with one another, offering what they can and asking for what they need to create something for the betterment of themselves, their office, or their company.
