That first moment that sought to document an act, an idea, a presence, an existence, a deity...
that initial spark of creativity born of desire to intensify experience, enhance a space, beautify a body,
paint a cave wall, decorate a tool...
that first shuffling of utterances, that first gesture, that first rhythm, that first song...
that was when we truly became human.
