Art is a lesson for both its creator and those who admire it. With every soft brushstroke, carefully selected synonym, or drawn out note, the artist learns a new way to create, a new way to evoke emotion from others by ripping it straight out of their own chest. An artist can do this with a graceful combination of ease and effort. Those who see the canvas, read the pages, or listen to the melody, are only able to grasp the pieces of the pain that are reflected within their own souls. Inside, we are all fragments of the same shattered mirror. Its glass once reflected only the face of God, but now it reflects parts of us. Does it still show God’s visage?
Are we God’s art? Were we a lesson for the all-knowing? Does even our creator learn from our mistakes, flaws, imperfections?
