Universality

Series: Muses

In this work I explore universalism as a doctrine or school claiming universal facts can be discovered and is therefore understood as being in opposition to relativism  In certain religions, universality is the quality ascribed to an entity whose existence is consistent throughout the universe. This figure is searching through this philosophy towards an epiphany as a faint ghost of an idea evolves from the subconscious and merges into the conscious mind.
