World View
Artist statement:
All is one - one is all. Everything is connected to the one source of the universal creation spirit, from the leaf on the tree to the rock on the river bed, whether animate or inanimate. All is equal. Nothing and no one is more important than another. Everything is energy and has the right to existence.
