art is an interchangeable form. what is poetry can be prose can be music can be art can be TV can be movies can be video games can be visual novels can be webcomics can be dance can be movement can be aesthetics can be a flash of inspiration hidden behind a street corner.
art is a connective process. you forge new threads between yourself, others, and the world around you. you realize the universe is so much bigger than yourself. and yet, you discover just how you can be a part of it, just how you can fit in.
through art we are not human, yet art is the most human form of being there is. art motivates us not just to live, but to thrive. it shows us the evidence of why we should all still be alive.
and to appreciate art, is no less than to make it. to create, is no lesser or greater than to be.
go feel art. go make art.
go be art.
Mouthwashing (the 2024 hit indie horror game) has absolutely wrecked my life with how good (and bad) it was...but hey, at least I've got some new thoughts on what true art is.
