@Aalia 9 October 2022 more from that month

Art is not a competition to create the best image, whatever that may be. No image I have seen in a museum comes close to the visual magic of an actual sunset over the ocean either. When I am standing on a beach or in a rainy forest I am touched and humbled and inspired. But I know that nature didn't struggle to create the scene, and I am rather confident that it doesn't care about me sitting on some rock gazing at it. Art on the other hand, is about human interaction for me. I know a human being thought and hustled, explored and revised or maybe just had a lucky moment. Any emotion I might have looking at an artwork, is somehow linked to that process. It is a conversation about what the world does with us, about beauty, and fear and mortality and joy.
