Soulscape 25, Art Is the Window to Our Human Potential
From My Upcoming Book: Soulscape – The Role of Art in Our Lives
Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus, 1486, Uffizi Gallery, Florence. WC.
Art shows us what is possible. Without the power of art, our imagination is simply the stuff of fluff. When visions are presented in art, they become tangible, concrete, and real—something we can point to or hold in our hand, just as we do with any real-life object. This superpower confirms that if we can dream it, we can make it a reality. In the case of The Birth of Venus, she embodies the idea of reinvention—emerging fully formed, beautiful, and free of past constraints. Artworks like Venus are the primary means of giving a sense of reality to our hopes and dream.
Art is a window to our future.
