So, I believe the government has a really important role in promoting artistic expression and they also have some sort of power over what to be made for the community or the people to listen to or what are not to be made for the community and people to listen to because they have the control to you know filter out whatever they want the people to hear or not. And that in some way is another way to stifle the growth of artistic voices that are talking about the ugly not so beautiful unpolished size of humans. Because in the world today it’s not just about beauty. It’s about the expressions of the truest self, your authenticity. And to be authentic, you’re going to embrace both sides of your polar, so both the beautiful side of yourself and the ugly side of yourself. That is what we will call art because it reflects on who we are and what we are and where are we becoming or who are we becoming.

Because in the world today, it's not just about beauty. It's about the expressions of the truest self, your authenticity. To be authentic, you're going to embrace both sides of your polar, both the beautiful side of yourself and the ugly side of yourself.
