For me art points to the creative being who is the light beyond the darkness of inevitability. I like that with so few words you have created much contemplative thought.

Awesome one liner, however art is subjective, so I guess for some it does and for some it does not...

Not sure what you mean by "soul" Charlie, since I don't believe humans have such a thing. I do believe, however, great art can lift us to heights we could never on our own. In that sense, art is important in my life and no doubt yours. Thanks for reading my work. Best to you. / M
