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.

ABOUT US
Quintessential Arts is an artistic organization that takes art to a broader spectrum, the name acts as something the organization stands for - the fifth essence, quintessential arts epitomizes what art is by recreating, reinventing, reiterating, and reinterpreting creations from previous centuries thereafter creating clothes which encode the ideas then decoding the ideas through the sonic.
Just like there is no religion without science and there isn't science without religion, as an organization working on several projects at one go quintessential arts is aware that without the sonic there are no garments and without the garments there is no sonic, lockscreens and other endeavors which set it apart from a typical artistic organization.
For quintessential arts the goal is to challenge the natural order of things, be the voice of reason and make those that don't identify with the status quo identify with it.
Many would assume there isn’t anything particularly astounding about the origins of the word ‘quintessential’ at a glance it is quite French and can be broken down into essential and then presumably essence. But what about the quint part? Think quintet or quintuplets. Quintessence literally means the ‘fifth essence’. Going back through medieval French to Latin, as quinta essential. It was used in classical and medieval philosophy to refer to: a fifth substance in addition to the four elements, thought to compose the heavenly bodies and to be latent in all things.
At heart quintessential arts is an organization that draws its inspiration from 90’s hip-hop culture and mythology.
