We don’t make art because we need to. We do it because we have to. It’s not just an addiction; it is therapy.
Without our work or side projects, we are an empty shell. Each project gives us meaning.
“Art is a line around your thoughts.”
Gustav Klimt, Austrian painter
Yet, the tendency to overthink our work’s value often misconstrues the act of performing it. Sometimes making stuff doesn’t need thought nor interpretation. Like laughter, it just is.
The power to take a picture, draw, run a science experiment, or just write clears the fog of perfection or the need to appease others. The end product is not always for Instagram but for us. Art constitutes our thought’s core.
The homogeneity of stuff begs our mind to make what’s unique to the person. Limits are self-inflicted. Artists are inspired individuals, especially when they are working.
