The act of making art is the point not the end result.

We often see only what people want us to see—the carefully crafted result they have worked hard to create. The finished product serves as a tangible reminder, a piece of evidence that you truly accomplished the task! But beyond that, it is the act of doing the thing itself that brings genuine joy, offers a deep sense of fulfillment, and connects you to a part of yourself that yearns for nurturing and growth. In a world increasingly dominated by AI-generated art, it can sometimes feel like asking, "What’s the point?" Yet, art is so much more than just the final piece; it’s about the entire creative process—engaging your brain in new and different ways, expressing your innermost thoughts and emotions, and courageously baring your soul for the world to witness. Ultimately, that vulnerability and connection are what truly define the heart of creating.
