…believes art is congruent to, not representative of, individual reality and human essence as a whole:

1. Art is the human act of self-expression, which includes language, engineering, fights

"Expression" is the only method of externalizing otherwise internal processes such as desire, knowledge, and judgement.

This externalization makes tangible one's internal state of being, transforming its basis of existence on the grounds of its perceived personal or social importance, and effectively substituting the internal.

This causes the external to be equal to the internal at point of creation.

internal = human

internal = external

external = human

2. Art is a product of life created to accompany and enhance, but also to embody (not approximate).

Beauty in a "moment" or "feeling" cannot exist without being perceived; the human process of perception and recording protects these phenomena from being lost to time, and functions as reality in the minds of those who perceive it.

Life precedes art, but the two are congruent.

Truly great art embraces all aspects of life,

including its intricacies and contradictions,

in order to embody life, as opposed to reference or imitate:

to perpetuate the humanistic qualities of art and the artist

to remember, process, learn, and grow,

to monumentalize and to cherish, and

to ultimately cheat death.
