“How much has to be explored and discarded before reaching the naked flesh of feeling." - Claude Debussy

I think art endlessly fascinates because of the way it empowers the vulnerable. Raw and naked, self-aware and provoking. Art exposes feeling to invoke sentiment. Art masters manipulation to rule over subject. A great artist must always play both the master and the slave.

So go on, reveal yourself. Reveal yourself beyond the superficial to that naked place of feeling. And be strong in your weakness.
