thinking of my daily routines (hair care, makeup, choosing an outfit) as performance / short lasting art expression has made me feel more excited, creative, and connected to the experience of being alive. art doesn't have to stand the test of time to be significat AKA LIKE YOUR ONE BEAUTIFUL HUMAN LIFE. helps with my existential panic

👨i think our only purpose in living is to be people, to be individuals and realize our selves into the world
and each thing we make or say or do contributes a little to building that self’s presence in the world
it’s broader than art but art is the clearest example. things are only beautiful if they are expressive of a person on the truest level

👣was at an art museum today just totally lost in thought about how alive everything was and how hundreds of ancient hands touched the things i was seeing and being someone who makes things myself i reflected both on how hard it was but also how we’ve been doing things like ceramics the same way for lifetimes now. art is so alive because of all the hands it took to make it and because of its very human purpose. i comb my hair and someone also combed their hair and drank and fought and loved it’s just their objects are on display for antiquities purpose and mine aren’t. we’re all just little walking museums full of interiority and maybe one day these words will be indecipherable to someone. empires rise and fall but we are all still combing hair and building things making with our hands. humanity is really so beautiful when we aren’t killing eachother.

🖌not necessarily forever, but that scarf you make may end up in the thrift one day and another person may wear it. that embroidery piece you create thats on your wall right now will probably end up on someone else's wall in the future. I have so many beautiful things that people have made and I don't know their stories, but I can appreciate their art. and the things I make probably won't stay with me. and art I've lifted to others will be passed on to even more people that I have no connections too. I love being alive and being human and having this small connection with people I have never and will never know
