Appearances
We want to feel that we are good enough and that we're not a failure, right?
This feeling requires somebody
or something to see us, to see, meet and hear what we have to say.
Culture, as I see it, and now I'm generalizing a little bit, is one of the languages that can make you feel seen, met and heard.
If you stand in front of, let's say, a painting, you are involved in an art installation, you are participating, somehow it is engaging, and importantly, it is embodied.
It's not like a screen-based kind of conversation.
You are actually physically present.
Let's take an example.
You stand in front of a painting, you go, oh my God, I know that feeling.
That is exactly what I was thinking about.
That is exactly what I felt.
That, intuitively, is what speaks to me.
It is saying what I would have said if I had the words.
I was just...
finding out how best to be present to that feeling that is in that painting.
It is not me seeing the painting.
It is the painting seeing me.
It's the book that is reading me back.
It is me in the book.
I'm reading a book about myself.
