"Monsters are just expressions of inner trauma." This, and other truisms drive our work. We think we are individuals but we're gripped by collective ideas.
One pervasive theme I've noticed is that all of spirituality is a coping mechanism against the bitter pill of life; no view is correct or incorrect, it is simply how you get by. This could help explain the vaguely muddled worldview of so much modern art.
This stems into a second principle I've noticed, which is that truth is subjective to the individual. Therefor the imperative of any art is to speak to that subjective truth at any cost. This could help explain why self expression is so deeply celebrated, because by the very nature of that presupposition, self expression is the only thing that's true.
Love this, and yet, we also are constantly calling into question our own sensory perceptions at all time, so "our own truth" is never on that solid of ground. It's a very tenuous place to stand.
Great post!
