A philosophical reflection.

A philosophical reflection on the nature of artistic creation.
That's what I understand about art…
It suggests that true art emerges from vulnerability, struggle, and imperfection.
Art is born from the fractures of human experience.
The wounds, doubts, contradictions, and limitations that define our mortal condition.
Superheroes and saints, in their idealized states of perfection, lack the essential dissonance that gives birth to creative expression.
They represent completion, transcendence, and an unblemished state that is fundamentally alien to the artistic impulse.
When we speak of superheroes, we imagine beings of extraordinary capability, without weakness or significant inner conflict.
Clear moral imperatives, heroic resolutions, and triumph define their actions.
