I consider the limitations of spoken language. The tools which spoken language provides have their limits and some experiences and emotions go beyond words. Creative art is more flexible than spoken language and it reflects my experience more freely. Abstract symbols express my stories, experiences, sentiments, and principles with an intuitive language that I create. The symbols act as surrogates for concepts and deep emotions experienced during times of struggle.
