'As Bermudians, we need to accept that we are all connected. Our lives on island align and intersect. We exist in the composition that is Bermuda, and depend on each other's existence whether we like it or not. If we take one part of Bermuda out of our composition, it is thrown out of balance. The iconography of Bermuda tends to be downplayed by outsiders as 'tourist art', when the imagery we represent is our identity and our 'local seen'.'
