How often do we see people standing infront of a painting, saying "BUT, what does it MEAN?"... The answer: it doesn't have to mean anything. Art is not the answer to a question; it is not a mathematical solution; and it doesn't have to perform a function - but it does in my opinion, and in the words of the master Picasso:

“Art washes away from the soul, the dust of everyday life...”

... thus, it doesn't need analysing - allow it to talk to your soul, to affect you without meaning - it could affect you immediately, it could cause you to ponder, self-reflect - it could transport you to childhood memories; or to a place you haven't been.

Art is a wonder..... allow it to be wondrous - you can laugh, you can cry, or quietly applaud.
