The trials and errors that preclude understanding are the challenges and risks we all have to recognize and value. The risks are duly within. These are the forces that strengthen us.
* How do I express this? How do I articulate this?
"There is a paradox that lies at the very heart of human existence" [Thomas Merton]
These are the fundamental questions I work with as an artist.
* I consistently continue struggling to understand these essential and vital questions that initially inspired me to create.
"Ego sum qui sum" - God is being itself. God is being per se, in the pure act of existing.
I wish to evoke an appreciation of this nature.
