Each artist opens the conversation between the individual and their understanding of the artwork, thus the uninterrupted flow of thoughts in the conscious mind centers around the reaction of an individual towards the artwork.

Although contrasting in artistic styles, the four artists have mastered their according discipline giving the audience the capacity for self-interpretation.
