~I need to believe that I am somehow contributing to people’s happiness,
or helping them in some way, or that they can find meaning in my work.
Every depiction, every painting, and every sculpture represents a dream world,
with bigger or lesser knowledge, with more or less fantasy,
created by more or less lucky hand of the artist or sculptor.
We will always wake up into the reality of a new day, whatever that may be.
It is different when we create a dream world.
This world remains, and in its own way becomes somewhat real and everlasting.
Almost eternal.~
