“Cinema in the eighties was blamed for propagating wrong values, and there was a huge debate on whether art imitates life, or life imitates art.”
“In my view, art interprets life, shows unspeakable truth with or without a commentary and sets new benchmarks for life.”
“We face another challenge today. Capturing everything on a small screen imparts false confidence – of having conquered the world. Can Photoshop creativity compete with the artists working with stone, paint or other materials?”
“Virtual cannot outsmart the real, as long as one knows the difference.”
“That is the real challenge. Do we know the difference?”
(100 words)

And sometimes art, while interpreting life, gets the message across in a much more meaningful way. Nice one, Reena!

Excellent piece! I see photoshop as learned skill not a talent. To me that is the difference.

Virtual makes the reality presentable only it cannot outsmart it.
