Between 
   the mighty and 
  the modest, truth is the great leveler.

There is but One God.
His name is Truth; He is the Creator.
He fears none; he is without hate.
He never dies; He is beyond the cycle of births and death.
He is self-illuminated.
He is realized by the kindness of the True Guru.
He was True in the beginning;
He was True when the ages commenced and has ever been True.
He is also True now.
—Guru Nanak
A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.
—Aesop
As is the tradition of CoLabART projects,
it included the work of two deceased, Cuban-American artists
Felix Gonzales–Torres
and Ana Mendieta,
whose work and life/death
the LA version was dedicated to.
It also included a mixed–media work of the LA-based artist/activist/feminist Merrilyn "Cookie" Duzy
whose visage was a homage to her deceased friend and fellow artist, Norma Jean Squires
