“Perhaps we’ll open the day’s doors. And then we shall enter the unknown.”[1] 

Art can open doors to the unknown for the artist, but also for the viewer. Some things we suspect or feel, but often we are grasping at straws. Fiction will let you approach the field, which is only marginally present, and shed light on the dormant and vaguely determined. Jan Cox points to fiction’s strength in removing the factual reality, while also gaining an increased understanding of that reality. Some phenomena or diffuse feelings are best communicated through images.[2]
