I think about it a lot. I feel like what we are trying to communicate or what we're trying to say about all these things, all these feelings are going through these things are distorted or fragmented. We can never really communicate with absolute clarity what is going on. We're too limited. There's not a word for it. And I like that. I think what it is to be human is to be less than perfect.And when I watch films, and I see these scenes that sometimes make me feel sick or make me happy, they're executed with imperfections. But then all of a sudden it becomes an interpretation because you're creating it in your mind. You're projecting something from your own experiences as a human being onto the scene because you're going into memory. Those are all virtues to me. Those are all the things that make it beautiful because they are an articulation of humanness.”www.chayseirvin.comwww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast
