34 Gallery Artist: Krae Okafor

 "The arts matter to me because they have the power to inspire, provoke thought, and evoke emotion in a way that transcends language and cultural barriers. They offer a unique lens through which to view the world, fostering empathy, understanding, and connection with others. 

The arts also provide a platform for self-expression, allowing individuals to explore their identities, share their stories, and make sense of their experiences. They enrich our lives, stimulate creativity, and challenge us to think critically about the world around us. 

In essence, the arts are not just a form of entertainment but a fundamental part of what makes us human, shaping our perspectives and enriching our understanding of the world.”
