I don’t think art is one size fits all; different things affect us differently.

A goosebumps-inducing song.
Smart lyrics that sing the beauty of the most vulnerable act — giving.
A haunting, ecstatic melody that boils and grows like the desire to give to those we love.
A masterpiece of creative courage.

Abramović mass produced the rare moment we see someone for their whole being, not merely as a step in the path of our own life.
The result was a devastating truth.
