Liberty
This tapestry describes a cave in which we find ourselves, with the possibility to escape therefrom.
We can either safely remain in the comfortable semi-darkness of the cave or we can come out into the light, towards the Infinite and the Divine.
Liberty introduces the possibility of choice, a breakthrough moment akin to Plato's allegory of the cave, where one can choose to remain in the comfort of ignorance or step into the light of understanding.
