The world isn’t all peaches and cream, there’s right and wrong and a fine line between fact and fiction. The Superterrestrial Collection was judged and labeled numerous things during prototype stages based off a couple of synopses and a teaser same way a person can be judged based on geography. Reactions would’ve come as a surprise if there weren’t contingency measures in place. This exercise in curation is the decapitation of King Louis XVI in order for the populous to taste liberation. It is the ominous kid that walks into the dragon's den, slays the dragon and lives to tell the tale. It plays out like a puzzling love letter to the cultures betrayed and ideas dumbed down so things can turn a profit, a necessary evil for the grand plan.

Quintessential Arts is a multidisciplinary omnipresent artistic organisation - the name is derived from the fifth essence interpreted as æther in addition to the four elements thought to compose the heavenly bodies in Ancient Greek philosophy. The organisation is driven by reinvention, reinterpretation and recreation of older works encoded by its garments and decoded through the sonic. Just as science and religion go hand in hand, the garments go hand in hand with the sonic as well as other mediums such as literary pieces used to set the stage for every season respectively thus setting it apart from what the masses have become accustomed to. Quintessential Arts is an organisation whose purpose is to challenge the natural order of things, be the voice of reason and critique, make those that don’t identify with the status quo identify themselves with it.
Quintessential Arts is a multidisciplinary omnipresent artistic organisation founded August 8th, 2020 in Johannesburg South, South Africa.
