Trauma happens in relationships, so it can only be healed in relationships. Art can't provide healing. It can be cathartic and therapeutic but a relationship is a three-part journey.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The idea is, if I can't heal from my art, then how can you heal?
Art is a way to express yourself and through that you can escape a bad situation.
I'm interested in how artists and writers do this, using art as therapy. Escaping into the worlds we create. We're all victims and few of us are truly free.
Art is one thing that can go on mattering once it has stopped hurting.
If my art has nothing to do with people's pain and sorrow, what is 'art' for?
I think art can reflect tragedy.
I am always rethinking how art is perceived and received, questioning our relationship to art. That's always been a constant.
Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.
All of us use art and literature as an escape from time to time, but if it's any good, it has a healing quality - a quality that enlarges our human spirits.
Art is for healing ourselves, and everybody needs their own personal art to heal up their problems.
