thank u for sharing :) "Art allows me to create worlds where I am understood." is such a wonderful sentence. it reminds me of this interview with Ocean Vuong in Prac Crit:
"There’s a legend about a Chinese painter who was asked by the emperor to paint a landscape so pristine that the emperor can enter it. He didn’t do a good job, so the emperor was preparing to assassinate him. But because it was his painting, legend goes, he stepped inside and vanished, saving himself. I always loved that little allegory as an artist. Even when it is not enough for others, if it is enough for you, you can live inside it."
