It's hard to access when it is appropriate to use a passive or active voice. Do you want close assimilation with your art piece and subject matter, or would you rather done an impassive culturally relative one (that leaves not much to risk, no public examination). I find myself wanting to do that sometimes as an artist setting out to have a certain perspective but a neutral identity, and ended up doing the opposite. Yet the audience can make a connection irregeardless of self- or societal reference as long as it’s detailing understood contexts of a certain culture. Although worldwide there are similar understandings of "environment”, even if interpretation varies. Moral of the story is that anyone can understand and even connect with a clearly communicated and socially relevant perspective. Anything else outside of that is well, abstract ideals.
