" In the age of technology there is constant access to vast amounts of information.
The basket overflows; people get overwhelmed; the eye of the storm is not so much what goes on in the world,
it is the confusion of how to think, feel, digest, and react to what goes on"
Criss Jami

" I feel the earth move under my feet...."

"I wanted to show that the fables and mythic tales which the ancients have handed down to us
and in which painters and sculptors never cease to find mindless pleasure
are the hieroglyphics of a secret, inexhaustible wisdom.
I sometimes thought I felt its breath, as though coming from behind a veil."
- Hugo von Hofmannsthal
