7equals4 probably makes no sense to you, or has no meaning. But to me it does. What it means to me does not matter, rather, what does matter is that it is an example of how life for each of us is unique and the inner experience we each have is our own.

Nonetheless, it is through art that we express this unique experience, and through art we seek to find a common thread, something that we can share. It is this aspect that makes us human.
