Should we consider talking about a universal topic such as the human soul a real tendency?

Is this topic back in fashion in art galleries?

Does this topic sell in Art Foundations and Institutions?

Are commissioners, new art gurus and critics, interested in this topic?

I am really struck by all these questions and doubts. What can I add to what so many philosophers, artists and wise people have already written, thought, stated, sculpted, painted, photographed and reproduced? The only thing I can add to this respect are my "imagining souls" images, as well as each soul I imagine.

I am really fond of the final words stated by Charles Chaplin in his masterly film "The Great Dictator":

Hannah, can you hear me? Wherever you are... look up! Look up, Hanna! The clouds are lifting! The sun is breaking through! We are coming out of the darkness into the light! We are coming into a new world, a kindlier world, where men will rise above their hate, their greed and brutality. Look up, Hanna! The soul of man has been given wings, and at last he is beginning to fly... He is flying into the rainbow, into the light of hope... Look up, Hanna!

Look up!
