Adversity has a way of pushing us beyond our limited comfort zone, often leading us to ask bigger questions. Whether they center around our world or are deeply personal to each of us, we are provided with a window of opportunity where all that was status quo gets a chance to be renewed. Art, in its many forms, whether painting, writing, poetry, singing, helps us rediscover ourselves. –Guri
