RE: Art's Key Ingredient: Vulnerability

in #art7 years ago

True. Vulnerability is the one that pushes you to create. When I'm vulnerable, then I throw myself into a creative ocean, sometimes swimming swiftly to the shore, sometimes I drown in the ocean lyrics. You, readers, are the ones on the shore.

Well, put!

If we don't have that rawness of human experience, where does the art come from? I don't think we have to have experienced tremendously unfortunate experiences, but we have to be real. Putting some authenticity into one's art can super charge it in a weird way. Even confessing extremely positive emotions can be an act of vulnerability (which I didn't cover well in this piece). Thanks for the comment.
