We are all trapped in Plato's Cave. Our reality is orchestrated for us by the order of civilization. We, as individual members of the species, are not in control. We are a bunch of bugs in an insect colony. Our perceived reality is mirrored back to us by civilization's norms. The artistic members of the species inherit the job to break the mirror. To find the true reality. It is always the job of the Artist to create. Creating and breaking the mirror are the same.
