"Till death we do art," I always think about this statement and I think this is so true. Everything in this universe is about love and art. Art is in literally everything whether it's about making pasta or making cupcakes at midnight. Knowing and loving someone is art. Art is the reflection of everything in life, what we do, what we see or hear, what and how we wear, what we feel and how we breathe, everything is art.
