muted concerns

i have so far always muted my wordly concerns, and kept making art only inspired by aesthetics and spiritual goals and values.

but confining oneself to the realms of mathematics, beauty, science, sprituality is in fact a cowardly retreat from the world.

given the lamentable, current state of mankind and the earth this kind of silence is inexcusable and unbearable.

all voices must be raised to question, answer, protest, hint, state, be in and part of the world, help suffering, give hope.

this is an obligation for the voice of art too. i am presently searching for the best suitable way to raise my voice.

it does not do harm to the mystery to know a little about it. for far more marvelous is the truth than any artist of the past imagined it. (richard feynman)
