Art is representative
but it offers as well a presentation that undermines this very representation
in that it aims to extend or challenge (artistic) worldviews
using ideas and their relationship with the visible.
Nevertheless, this creative expression should not be without meaning,
nor should this meaning be a superficial and banal statement.
