Art is one of the most debated subjects in our society. Many people postulate that art has an innate purpose. I do not perceive a purpose, and I am an artist. When I create a piece of art I do it because it fulfills a need. Some may say that it's fulfillment, is it's purpose, but I just enjoy it, somethings can just be done. It is existential, meaning it exists simply to exist. When I make a piece of art to express an idea, it is not to express it to someone else, but to help myself understand an abstract concept.
Many people will argue on what is art? Is Mein Kampf art, it is a work of literature, and literature is art? I believe that if one person anywhere in the world considers it art, then it becomes art. Our perception changes the nature of the thing. Our perception make it art. A thing by itself cannot be art without someone to see it. Art, rather the object itself is purposeless and in the words of Oscar Wilde "useless."
