Resonance Here... Art and Life

Well, I couldn't have said this more clearly.

"It is human nature to want to exchange ideas, and I believe that, at bottom, every artist wants no more than to tell the world what he has to say. I have sometimes heard painters say that they paint "for themselves": but I think they would soon have painted their fill if they lived on a desert island. The primary purpose of all art forms, whether it’s music, literature, or the visual arts, is to say something to the outside world; in other words, to make a personal thought, a striking idea, an inner emotion perceptible to other people’s senses in such a way that there is no uncertainty about the maker's intentions" - M. C. Escher

 
I believe that we (humans) yearn to connect on a 'soul-ful' level, to reconnect and re-establish our relationships on this Earth. Traveling along on the continuum, we share threads of common experiences that make us feel less alone.
