Before the Grains are Ground and Polished
Art takes myriad forms across the globe, serving as a vessel for diverse human experiences and expressions. Some use art as a chronicle, etching the struggles of existence into tangible memories; others employ it as a declaration of presence, a testament to their identity and unique narratives. For some, it's a wellspring for pent-up emotions and thoughts, a conduit for expression and catharsis. In essence, art is the voice of the artist, speaking their truths and sharing their vision with the world.
