COMMONALITIES
I. Is space the only thing that divides us? And is color and shape
really the only thing that further differentiates our divided spaces?
Even then, Spinoza's physical theory tell us that in regards to
individuality, our bodies are really only modifications of a single
substance. We are all woven from the same thread, to put it in
colloquial terms. Then can it be said that exchanges and engagements
with in art can be a place where commonalities are created as a way to
deal with this superficial division of space, color, and shape?
