i will literally never stop thinking about that one glass onion analysis video that said “i wouldn’t say i’d destroy [the mona lisa] to save a stranger’s life, but honestly? it’s kinda fucked up that i wouldn’t. we should value a person’s life, stranger or not, more than a piece of art.” like that changed something in me. bc our society DOES value art. not new art, not artists, sure, but it values the results. they put the results at a higher value than the artist themself, and if they think the results is worthless? they’ll still value the artist less than the result.
#thinkin abt my one friend who said she’d rather die than not complete her art#and another who said he’d kill himself for talent#and another who said the mona lisa was da vinci’s legacy and if it’s gone he’s gone#like what are y’all on abt? what value must u put on art to value urself as less than? how little do u value urself to put ur art as more?#i want so badly to be able to say i’d burn the mona lisa to save a stranger but idk if i would#and like this guy said: it’s fucked up#what we make doesn’t determine our worth. what we can or can’t do doesn’t determine our worth. how much talent we have doesn’t determine our#worth. and it shouldn’t.#idk. it just feels so twisted. and it’s not even abt what art they can make in the future.#it’s abt how we and the ppl around us are alive and that’s our most valuable gift#not some oil on a canvas#glass onion#glass onion a knives out mystery#art#mona lisa
