Art has long been a powerful medium for self-expression and reflection, allowing creatives to convey their innermost thoughts and emotions through various forms of media. Recently, several notable artists have used art as a means of exploring the human experience.
Elton John's upcoming album "Who Believes In Angels?" is a poignant example of this trend. The album was inspired by his own reflections on mortality, which he began contemplating five years ago during a difficult time in his life. This introspection has led to a deeply personal work that promises to be a powerful exploration of the human condition.
FKA twigs' conceptual performance art piece "The Eleven" is another notable example of artists using their craft to explore complex themes. The artwork, which features a rotating group of performers enacting ritualized motions designed to improve one's life, is based on twigs' 11 pillars of EUSEXUA - a philosophical framework that seeks to understand what it means to be human.
Virginia Trioli's interview series "Creative Types" on ABC has also been delving into the minds of influential Australians, including director George Miller, who shared a heart-wrenching moment from his past while discussing his own mortality.
