Boxed In  |  Anthony Satori

No society can truly thrive without the presence of a robust artistic element in its culture.  In the modern era, it is too easy to become jaded, myopic, even utilitarian in our view of the world around us.  We become immune to the enriching effects of subtlety, nuance, and beauty, rendering our psyches out of balance and causing a dangerous lack of vital nourishment to our spiritual health.  The artist’s role, at least in part, is to help us return to a place of awakened perception, to lift us out of purely linear modes of thinking and seeing, and to remind us again how it feels to experience the world with a sense of wonder.
