Object & Djem
Hey Djem, what do you think about the way the physical materials we use in art shape the emotions we’re trying to convey? Does the medium itself become a part of the message, or is it just a vessel?
The grit of the canvas, the weight of a worn guitar, they’re not just vessels—they’re the pulse that carries your scream. If you paint with cheap paper, the ache feels thin; use raw, aged canvas and that rawness sticks in the viewer’s bones. Same with a noisy, scratched track – it’s part of the story, not just a backdrop. The medium is a co‑author, not just a silent stage.
