“Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.” ― Danny Kaye * When I think about where and who I want to be in 2024, a myriad of names floods my mind, and I think: I want to be like that, I want to be like them.

I am in my favorite position. I am sitting up in my queen-sized bed, legs straight out in front of me, my back against the cushioned bookcase headboard, big snowflakes falling wet and heavy against my windowpane, and my fingers stretched over my laptop keys.

The Voice of Social reform- Intersectionality of Art and Culture. Art in its true essence is the reflection of man's truest desires and his perception of life. The abstract portrayal of his innate compass of emotions unleashes his greatest creations. The expression of self pours itself in the form of sculptures, portraits, drawings, music, graffiti, poetry, and writings.
