One of the things that has always fascinated me about art is its ability to become a mirror for self-reflection in a way that challenges the boundaries of my own thinking.

I spend a great deal of time reflecting every day. But most of that reflection takes place within frameworks I already know.

We all have our own frameworks for life and for understanding the world. And I genuinely enjoy reflecting on myself, my choices and my development within the boundaries of my own well-established perspective.

But from time to time, I need to have my way of thinking challenged.

This is where art enters the picture.

Art has a unique ability to shift my perception of things. There is a certain freedom in that.

After encountering a work of art, I often see myself differently — even when it confirms something I already sensed. I begin to understand my circumstances from another angle.

Art does not simply challenge me.

It gives me perspective.

A new perspective.

And if there is one thing we need as human beings, it is the ability to discover new perspectives that help us move forward.
