Conscious.
Authentic art emerges from somewhere deeper than the mind. When we describe works as “coming from the soul” we’re acknowledging a source beyond judgment, beyond fear, beyond external motive.
The conscious mind is too loud, too calculating, too smart—its analytical in nature, looking at & focusing on the the impact we have, the audience present, and reception from the world. For survival, this is its strength. For creation, it is often its weakness. Analysis protects us, but it also restricts us.
Art thrives in the contrast. To create is to give form to what the mind cannot explain. The most meaningful works arise not from strategy, but from expression free of motive—driven only by the act of creating itself. Our conscious is vocalization our mind while our subconscious is vocalization of soul.
Its language is sensation, not logic, it thrives as Creation is often the form those feelings we take. The soul does not judge, does not calculate right or wrong. Just as art itself cannot be measured by correctness, a right or wrong answer. It is the furthest thing from analytical.
It thrives only in expression—projecting outward and finding resonance in the mediums that accept it
