I’m not kidding but a few hours before I came across this video I wrote in my notes: is visibility equal to worth? I was reflecting on why we as humans crave to be seen and recognized for our virtues, one of which can be our art. I’ve also asked myself: would I still create if I knew no one would see it or that my work wouldn’t become viral? My answer is yes, because creating art is not to please others but to fill a necessity that is constantly (eternally) throbbing alive inside one’s being and soul.
