A conventional unhappy man starts a search for his own self. A woman artist from another world starts her own journey by becoming human in order to guide this man into his own condition. This ESPIRAL is the first step to an awareness of real human condition while we are in a reality that teaches us much illusion and little truth about whom we really are. REAL ART SHOULD HEAL is a quote that means a lot to me because any art form should heal, should change the observer as well as the artist. Many can argue about what real art is and blah. however Real Art is what is created with the heart/soul and of course skill and beyond, while art that is pseudo and toxic is ego made and it confuses and disturbes our nature more than already is. We need less toxicity and more beauty even if the concepts of the art manifested are not beautiful ones...........ESPIRAL should continue as everything in life....up/down/down/up and circular motion...........
