What makes something truly beautiful? Is beauty something we create, or is it something we discover? In this episode, we dive deep into the essence of beauty—its role in art, creativity, and life itself. We explore how beauty can be designed but also how it often emerges unpredictably, striking us in ways we never expected. True beauty isn’t just about surface appeal; it has depth, meaning, and a life of its own. But when we try too hard to manufacture beauty from the wrong place, we risk creating something hollow, something that looks perfect at first glance but falls apart upon closer inspection.
Real beauty includes the mess, the rawness, the imperfections—it’s in the thorn as much as it’s in the rose. When artists embrace this, they have the power to shift perspectives, showing us how even something "ugly" can be breathtaking in the right light. This conversation will challenge the way you think about beauty and inspire you to explore your art in ways that might just change everything.
