Engaging Ground
Fairey says, "Americans need to stop being obsessed with personalities and start looking more closely at the principles that are at play within the dynamics of our system. The players Change but the problems stay the same. He believes that every artist should have the freedom to create art without reprisal and he stimulates constructive dialog about politics through his artwork. It is essential for artists to successfully transform their art creatively and conceptually for their viewers. If the artist's freedom is held back then the artist as well as the viewers are negatively affected.
Fairey lends his work with a level of resonance as he debates the fine line of neutrality in politics. His ethos is captured in his profound commitment toward freedom of speech and democracy. On numerous occasions, he has stated that he cares of no one's point of view except his own and that a great artist will use his art to fight against the oppressor in addition to his message.
Funny how the layers of time makes to forget
How pigs always make us work,
for them obey is a must.
Funny how much we think we know
when indoctrination is the way to lead
Convinced we fight for the two-legged pigs.
In fear,
We thought they are the ones who can conserve
But I continue to run in circles.
This how 1 feel...
Waiting and waiting until the mislaid souls are found again.
