“Art allows the mind to detach from the self and expand to understand the connection between the one seeking solace from an internal battle and others. In “The Myth of Sisyphus,” Albert Camus states that artistic expression is the ultimate form of joy. He defines all creators as absurd, since the pure act of creation is an expression of the absurdity of existence, even if the artist lacks this awareness.”
