Whether he was using collage techniques, fusing, clippings from a magazine or a stroke of a brush he created powerful art that will be in minds forever. His visual recollections of the south drawn from real-life memories and stories are anything but usual. His painting “The Family” (1941) demonstrates Bearden’s love for the Cubist style and through this he addresses family’s complex relationships and rituals that were able to tie into my own real-life experiences.

Hossien Valamanesh, Frida Kahlo and Anselm Kiefer create stunning artworks that deal with universal values through the incorporation of personal experience and cultural concerns.

Belonging is also invariably affected by the previous encounters of an individual’s environment and the people with whom they interact with. This is clearly demonstrated in, ‘The Simple Gift’ by Steven Herrick, as the main character, Billy, searches for belonging which is influenced by his environment and the interaction of people.
