You need to have a certain amount of intestinal fortitude to make important work. You need to go beyond the pretty and defy the socially accepted norms at times.
This piece is called the Fire Within, because that's what it takes to have to push past boundaries.
It's dedicated to the artists who stick with their messages, and forge their own paths.
