Therefore, it is enough if a piece speaks to the individual on his or her own terms. What is important is that the work encourages one to simply stop and experience it, to wonder and reflect, to use one's imagination to join in aesthetic contemplation and the creative process. Visual art must live without strict definitions, or at least all limiting definitions should be thoughtfully winnowed. Too much explanation of concept and meaning has the danger of confining a work of art and robbing the viewer of his or her own individuality and consciousness. Each person carries within an accumulation of one's self and the world around them which changes exponentially at any given point in time with each new experience and encounter.
Visual art is the manifestation of consciousness into our physical world.
Wave patterns transform into particles, so to speak, giving our consciousness a more identifiable reality where we are able to see it, touch it, examine it, and feel it emotionally. The whole physical world can be seen as reflections of this inner energy - just as visual art, music, dance and literature are reflections of our soul, our spiritual essence. These are some of the ways that our souls communicate, nourish and grow. This awareness of interconnectedness is showing itself in our society, in our growing awareness and concern for environmental issues, world wide economic and political changes, science and the new physics. Hopefully, this awareness will build and grow like a wave pattern, touching and effecting every part of our society.
