Battle for Beauty with Philip Sajet

Morpheus is the god of dreams.
And Morf became a word for form.
What a nice conclusion.
A dream becomes Form.

First, there is “Nothing” then there is Something.
What fascinates me about beauty is that it borders so close to what is perceived as ugly and the exciting contradiction is that if one wants to find new forms of beauty, one must actually tap into the source of ugliness. Beauty takes many forms, I do not know them all. If the viewer looks longer to the work the creator has done to do create it, the work has won. Then the Battle for Beauty has taken place. To have the power to create a treasure, to hold in my closed hand that small, heavy and colourful object. To create that moment of surprise when I open my closed upward turned hand and show it to someone.
