All art is political...is a strike for freedom, is an expression of liberty...
what you are looking at is somebody just making this move
in a completely new territory and asserting themselves in a new way...
that kind of newness...that kind of assertion of the self and of the newness of the Self...
that in itself is just an exhilerating and inspiring thing
that carries over into all forms of life...all forms of activity.
