Art, unlike scientific formulas, thrives on its ability to evolve, shaped by cultural shifts, personal…-

The Opposite Is True

Many struggle with this phase, fearing that their work is incomplete or could still be refined. However, recognizing that true completion does not equate to flawlessness but rather to a work embodying its intended essence…-
