"Art is for everyone, and is often used as a means of equalising emotional experiences.
Sharing high and low times in art form is a tool utilised by people throughout the world in all ages of our existence.

From the beginning of time depictions of human beings in the throes of birth, life, and death have graced the caves, walls, and streets of our communities."
