Reducing the exterior details and exposing the basic human form, allows us to see how everyone is essentially the same. There are common threads that exist amongst everyone which can be consistently seen throughout the world. In general, we behave, love, feel, and care for one another in similar ways. Regardless of language, color, or surroundings, we are all created from the same elements – mind, body, and spirit. If we were to view each other in a simplified way, it would help illustrate how everyone is related in being. Creating an abstract human form allows us to set aside assumptions, open our minds, and adopt a neutral attitude. Without the exterior information, one becomes a familiar figure representing anybody and everybody. The person is no longer an individual from a certain background, but rather a member of the human race. When we look beyond the surface to the simple human form, we will begin to appreciate the grace of being.
