What is Beautiful?
Written in early 2023
The concept of what is beautiful is built upon historic and current systemic biases affected by colonialism and the heteropatrirchy. That's if we're getting technical and truthful.
What is beautiful to me though?
I think beauty is care that translates into emotion. At least when talking about human creation. Because nature is beautiful in it's vastness. I think feeling small and insignificant in a space is also beauty. To forget our own existence.
That's why architecture is also beautiful. However it also feels oppressive.
Human capability is truly beautiful too.
The more I think about it the more things and people seem beautiful. However there cannot be beauty without ugliness.
I think i put a lot of care into my work. I want the beauty from my work to come from emotion and introspection, I want to always expand what beauty is to me.
