Everyday people approach obstacles that they are not willing to face. The obstacle is not what is important, the way you attempt to go around is it what is important. Every person deals with their obstacles in different ways. Some people just walk away from their obstacles and completely disregard their obstacle, some people do things that try to go around it and force them to forget about the obstacle, and some people have different ways to approach their obstacle and maybe even overcome their obstacle. Throughout our lives we will have to deal with obstacles whether we desire to or not. As myself, I deal with my obstacles by facing them and finding ways to overcome they and live beyond them. I use art as one of my ways to face my issues and obstacles that come toward me in my life. It helps me face my obstacles and understand why they have shown themselves through this experience called life. It helps me cope with my emotions and live through the experience and eventually overcome it. No matter what experience you face, you have the ability to live beyond it in.m a positive way. Doing something that is harmful to who you are to try to deal with your obstacle is never an excuse. No matter who you are or what your experience is, you have the ability to live past your experience and cope with it in a positive way. Once you understand that you have total control of your decisions and how you cope with your experiences, then you will finally understand how to manipulate the negative moments into something positive and something that will help you grow. Every experience and obstacle approaches you for a reason and the way you deal with those obstacles says a lot about who you are and what your future holds for you. Everyone has the ability to become successful. You are the one who allows yourself whether or not if art is an option to go about your obstacles. Art is hugely impactful to the creator and the viewer. As long as we all stick together and help each other in ways we can all connect with one another, art will help the world be a better place. Creating art pieces that will help join people who deal with the same issue will help form a family of people who understand each other and learn to help each other in moments of doubt. Art is truly my way of expiring my obstacles and the people who understand my artwork immediately feel closer to me and feel as if they are able to talk to me and express their emotions and experiences with me, and I think the connection you make with people through your work is the most important.
