Why is anyone allowed to disqualify my identity?
Why can't I kiss the person I love in public?
Why was it okay to be Mahu in early Hawaiian society but not now?
Why are you dying to know "who's the man and who's the woman"?
Does it matter if it's nature or nurture?
We touch, taste, smell, hear, and see the world around us, assembling our notions of what is though our five senses. Sharing those impressions, we develop a social consensus of reality and orient around the surety of that consensus.
A valued function of the artist is to offer alternative interpretations of what is by modelling what-might-be. Those models present innovative ways of perceiving, thinking, and responding to our changing environments.
Idiosyncratic: an unusual way in which a particular person behaves or thinks.
Field: a particular branch of study or sphere of activity.
