"Personally, I believe that art encapsulates life. The struggles, the joys, and all of the other emotions one feels throughout a lifetime. We create art to put these emotions into the world, and out of our hearts and minds. Others relate to these shared experiences, and are struck with a feeling of togetherness in the human experience. As humans, none of the things that we feel are exclusive. In this vein, art must be made available and accessible to people of all races, genders, sexualities, classes, and all of the intersections that come with these identities."
