I totally get what Nicole could have experienced because it is similar in other countries. First you're fascinated that on the "other side" where artists could express their individuality, realizing that artists are again a tool for system-relevance.

We are ONE HUMAN FAMILY NOT A reversed-engineered system-concept of "We Are The World." We grow up for generations being conditioned that our art-product is a commodity that proves that we are an artist or worthy of being called an artist by all our man-made systems like states, businesses, religions, politics etc.

The truth is that we are human-centrically all COLLABORATIVE CREATOR-ANIMALS of NATURE. We can’t save nature because we are a part of it. The only thing we can do is live in harmony with nature to protect our original habitat and water, air and food to allow our species to survive and flourish for generations. If not, nature keeps going, like it did with dinosaurs not adapting.

Artists need to wake up to the fact that the art-product is a commodity for systems. Our human-centric worth is not in our art-products but in unveiling our Selves within the creation process. The true human-centric value is found in the art-creation and experiencing the artist community of creatives and craftsmen. Why? Because art/creation is an inherent muscle that when we create collaboratively art it reveals the blueprint of what's humanly possible, thereby, lifting our human potential. Beautiful Thank you.
