The dichotomy between the empirical world and the self, man's desperate struggle for coherency; and the nature between the artist, the art, and those who experience it. I'm playing all my cards, leaving no tricks up my sleeve. It will be monumental, or it will be a monumental failure.

How politics can function as art in a sort of life-as-art sort of thing.

The ability of media to influence the perception of events, communicated through a variety of characters, with the last chapter being written by the subject himself. If I do my job right, I'll show 4-5 different ways of looking at a person.
