Hey! I reread this comment exchange and wanted to update my response. The crux of what I wanted to convey was that I value creative intellectual play and hold the belief that telling others what I see in my own creative writing might limit that (because I want people to make their own meaning without unnecessary bias from my perspective). I am now realizing my responses may have felt dismissive and/or counterproductive, and I regret that. If you’re still interested, please feel free to shoot me a message and I’m happy to discuss/share more privately :)
no social worries! I did feel like we miscommunicated, and I didn’t want to waste your time in a back and forth, so I figured to just accept imperfect understanding. I guess my sense is that there’s something behind this art piece that wants to be acted on, and the way art pieces leave things blurry and don’t create immediate common knowledge seems to me like… well, I’d hope to have something that does, even if this won’t be it? I guess. but I’m also interested in spoilers in DM :)
