There is a theory that speaks of four interconnecting factors of the identity relating to its outcome. One definition states that the crisis of identity represents the struggle to find a balance between developing a uniqueness while still being accepted and fitting into society. Contrary to popular belief, this can happen at any stage of life, childhood, adolescence, and adult. This is strangely connected to the metaphysical. As one deals with obstacles without resistance, the soul or spirit raises up a level in the spiral of being. A new phase of life and energy begins.

Something’s Gotta Give, is comprised of
sculpture, installation, projection and painting
as commentary by four artistic perspectives
on the current state of the world, their attitude
and concern for the continued present trajectory
of human habit and habitation on the planet.
Our survival depends on a major change in
