      Due to its nature, I’m not going to be able to explain art to you. Cheers.

        Art is escapism. Otherwise it’d be a structure instead of architecture.

        There, I explained it to you.

          Art isn’t just escapism. Or, it doesn’t need to be, at least.

          Sometimes it’s a way to help us understand, contextualize, and/or cope with our own reality.

            You realize you just described escapism in that second paragraph?

              Ok… And I assume you know what “and/or” means? Understanding and contextualizing is not escapism.

              And coping with isn’t necessarily escapism either.
