“The aim of art is not to represent the outward appearance
of things, but their inward significance.” -- Aristotle

Our search for the truth of reality goes beyond the obvious feedback we get from our limited sense organs (i.e., ears; eyes; nose; touch/skin; taste/tongue). The universe is far greater and more complex than can be determined with these tools. However, our senses do provide a way to pursue our search as the tools evolve.

Duda links abstract art with meditation. Successful meditation requires an ability to block out all the “noise” in our mind and focus strictly on the “now.” Zen koans are unanswerable questions that ease the mind into a meditative state
