Reviews

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

Great job JP on this work. It reveals so much not just domestically here in the States but also throughout the world where much of this ideology exists. Democratic Republics need to always be vigilant because they are one step away from becoming something they often believe not possible and criticizing other countries for being. Your art is always thought provoking and intellectually written. And the subjects you write about deal with much of the global crisis we human beings refuse to acknowledge.

Thank you CLE, your thoughtful comments are always appreciated.
