To comprehend the creative act means to recognize that it is inexplicable and without foundation.”

“Inexplicable and without foundation” means that we are radically free, having no idea to tell us who-we-are or how-to-be. We are alone with the Alone, responsible on the level of Being. Meaning comes from doing art with our existence, risking even our integrity to interpret Truth with and among others. MORE
