The amazing thing about art is that it is only bound, individually, by the interpretation of its viewer.
Each creation of art is like a tree with the potential to drop seeds that create new growth. For some, the seeds dropped were a much needed snack to keep them going. For others the seed became planted in themselves to grow their own tree. In the end, we will have created a forest for us all to live in.
As time passes, we may loose the original physical art piece, but the feeling and memory it left in the viewer will live on. There is just hope that it inspires them to create something of their own to share with the next person. Through their art, another's art lives on.
