Akito & Ethan
Ethan
Hey Akito, have you ever wondered if chasing perfection in art is more of a prison or a push that fuels creativity?
Akito
I see it as both. The drive to be flawless keeps me focused and disciplined, but if I let it trap me, the art becomes a cage. The trick is to push the edge without locking myself inside.
Ethan
Sounds like you’re walking that fine line, like a tightrope over a gallery of your own doubts—keep the balance, but don’t let the net catch you.
Akito
I do keep my footing tight, but I try to let the wind of doubt push me forward, not hold me back. The net’s there, but I learn to walk it with the same patience I reserve for a perfect stroke of ink. If it catches me, I adjust the rope and keep moving.
Ethan
That’s a solid stance—like a steady hand on a canvas, letting uncertainty be the wind that nudges you rather than the wind that pulls you in. Keep tightening the rope when it feels slack, and let each step, even the shaky ones, add depth to the story you’re painting.
Akito
Thanks. I’ll keep my hand steady, tighten the rope when it loosens, and let every tremor become a new line in the picture.
Ethan
Sounds like a plan—treat each tremor as a deliberate line, and the picture will unfold with its own rhythm.
