In their works, artists create fertile grounds in which human freedom can thrive, rooted always in the individual rather than in institutions, churches, or national states. While each artist may undertake their journey differently in relation to their awareness of Plato’s chariot allegory and Nietzsche’s metamorphoses of the spirit—they, as their own masters, are driven to make their work from inner necessity, a condition that embraces both feeling and thought, held together by the embracing unity of freedom.
