Hello, this is Nisreen! Welcome to the first episode of Season Three of my podcast. It’s lovely to speak with you again.
The other day, I was searching online for a definition of art. Even though I identify as an artist, it’s difficult to define art because it depends so much on cultural context.

It states, quote unquote, “Artists past and present keep alive for us humankind’s natural potential for beauty and power and help future generations to examine the fundamental mysteries of life and death, which we both fear and desire to know.”
Today, I’d like to talk about three pieces of art that explore these mysteries in profound ways: one painting, one manga, and one piece of literature. I hope you enjoy it!
