To illustrate inequality? Surely his artwork does that. Just not in the same rigid structure they imagined he would.

I don't know exactly what was specified in the contract, but he himself has admitted that he is in breach of contract.

This is not some mystical, mysterious thing that cannot be defined. It's a product. They ordered a product, he delivered the wrong product, and they are well within their rights to pursue legal action against him.

Art as a product? Really. We both know that is a topic of much debate.

Further, they ordered a redo of a creative effort. They understood it would be substantially the same as the referenced work. He deviated significantly, creatively.

Oh well. It's all their business I guess.
