Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it ‘the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.’ The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man or woman to the sacred name of ‘Artist.’
- Edgar Allan Poe

What each must seek in their life never was on land or sea. It is something out of their own unique potentiality for experience… something that never has been and never could have been experienced by anyone else... Joseph Campbell
