„Art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take risks.”

Most of the things we learn are about the concepts of life we created, but we learn so little about the life itself.
What is life, after all? We don’t know. The space we occupy mentally is so full of concepts and ideas that we rarely find any space left for the life itself. We can even say that we are afraid of life to some extent. Because when we look at life from the perspective of that small mental room we’re in, it seems too unpredictable to fit our well-organized, linear perception of reality.
Art is about going to the edge of the known to experience to reach beyond the concepts and experience life in its essence. It’s about seeing things emerging from the chaos taking unpredictable forms and knowing you have very little control over what is happening. It’s about giving yourself to the unknown so it could speak through you.
And above all: art and life are not separate, they are the same thing.
