INTERPRETATION

When adverse events occur, one tends to see the value in what they have

This event is seen as a curse instead of gratitude or appreciation revealed in the loss, pain or suffering

The lessons can be missed depending on the mindset held in such an event.

Art expresses many things, spoken and unspoken but frozen in time.

Artists carve feelings, and moments of themselves only they know, collectors enjoy.

What do you genuinely see? The artist's thought process or the final result? What thought is triggered? #art
