The Infinity Of Art (Text Written in 2006 -11th grade)

"The idea each person has about art differs from one another, nevertheless non of them are wrong. This piece, made out of everyday materials (Toilet paper rolls, and a long string), is a Dadaist reaction to the writing of Leo Braudy who criticizes the idea of genre, a classification of art.
The spiral i made is a contradictory object that goes against the concept of the categorized 'genres' but at the same time it's an object which belong to what people call DADA. Puttig a spiral made out of toilet paper rolls on the floor, for some people, doesn't mean anything, and for that reason, because it makes people question whether it is art or not, because it is completely different than anything else anyone has ever done and because of its absurdity and uniqueness, it is a Dadaist piece.
'The Spiral' symbolizes infinity since it can go on forever. However, because it is impossible for a human to reach infinity, i chose to put all those mirrors surrounding the spiral, giving it a sense of never ending. The reason for why i chose the 'infinite' symbol is because art, in my opinion, has no limits. No one and nothing should stop you from feeling free to do anything you want to do and then call it a piece of art, not even should you be limited by the already set styles, the movements.
The different colors in the spiral represent the different genres of art, that when put together create a unique art object."
