Spiritual

These days it seems hard to see the world in a whole and complete way. We see it as fragmented, broken, falling apart. And this is manifested in contemporary art. A social issue, a style, a personal obsession, a tradition or a medium becomes the artist’s focus.

Artists often don’t see beyond their own work, and sometimes beyond their own selves. And I think this happens when art no longer engages human spiritual yearnings.

A perspective that engages the spiritual by its nature concerns itself with the human condition. A perspective that engages the spiritual also concerns itself with the cosmos and its mystery, which is at the end of all science.
