In 2006 Kardash began a series of works to honor the 12 artists, madmen, and visionaries who helped him in his quest, Liberation from Freedom. Each of the luminaries have provided him with a chance to develop a three-dimensional, universal, way of being:
Krishnamurti, Prophet Elijah, Yeghia (his father), Gurdjieff, Thoreau, Coltrane, Rumi, Nietzsche, McLuhan, Calder, Brancusi, Raoul Hague.
