Creativity thrives on an expansive perspective, one that absorbs and synthesizes…-

Point of Reference
In Point of Reference, the chapter explores how our perception of art, music, and creative expression evolves when we encounter something unfamiliar. Often, when we first engage with a new artistic work—especially one that defies convention or deviates from our past experiences—there is an immediate sense of dissonance. This reaction is rooted in the absence of a familiar frame of reference, making the work appear strange or even unappealing. Whether it’s a musician experimenting with unconventional…-
