Artist folks of Twitter: do you ever just look at what you're doing and the way everything is going right now and think, WTF am I even doing here? What does this work even accomplish?
Like, "the whole west coast is on fire and we're already up to our eyes in a fascist takeover and there's a crazy disease that may just keep killing us until we're all dead but anyway here's some photos of abandoned stuff for your Twitter edification, IDK WTF else to do either."
My own work feels stupid and frivolous to me in light of everything else is I guess what I'm getting at, but it's all I really know how to do 😕
PS, I'm not saying this to be like "woe is me, the poor mopey photographer", but, you know, a lot of us are going through it. And I define art as a thing which one is passionate about, so it's got a pretty broad definition. Thanks also for the kind words 🥰
I've noticed a bunch of people who feel like this - like they feel guilty for not writing their great novel during the pandemic, or for feeling uninspired to work. I don't mean it to just be about me https://twitter.com/sun_cel/status/1305608366958489602
