“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”  - Aristotle

I love this quote that I found recently from the Greek philosopher Aristotle.  It rings true to me and it is the challenge that I have set for myself when creating new images.  Sometimes I feel that I am successful, especially when I have taken the time to dance with the subject and become intimately engaged with it.  What are your thoughts?
