The Prism Of Self

“In a prism, a single beam of light enters and is broken into an array of colours. The self, too, is a prism. Neutral events enter, and are transformed into a spectrum of feelings, thoughts, and sensations.

All this information is processed distinctively by each aspect of self, refracting life’s light in its own way, and emitting different shades of art.

For this reason, not every work can reflect all of our selves. Instead, we might embrace the prism of self, and keep allowing reality to bend uniquely through us”

(Rick Rubin_The Creative Act: A Way of Being)
