The Power of Art and Perspective

Art serves as a powerful means of communication and connection, offering insight into the human experience. Oliver Jeffers reflects on how he discovered this power during his childhood, particularly when asked to create a set for a school play, which illuminated his artistic talent and fostering a sense of purpose. Throughout his journey, he learned that art can transcend individual experiences and resonate universally, facilitating dialogues about complex issues. This realization shaped his approach to creating works that evoke empathy and understanding among diverse audiences.
