To emiko,
In my view, if someone can tell the purpose of your art immediately, it is not creative. I demand my mind be stressed. I want to imagine and have many different conclusions. Here is the dictionary definition of creativity.
Quote:
|
the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality, progressiveness, or imagination: the need for creativity in modern industry; creativity in the performing arts.

It favors both your view and mine, doesn't it? Who really does decide what creativity is? For now, it will just individual opinions, right? :>
I'm sorry, but perhaps your friend should think a bit more... I got an impression she or he is unimaginative and simple but I never want to think that of someone. I challenge him or her to think just a little more ^^ What could artificial trees mean? Trees can represent growth. Better yet, a tree with no leaves can represent death. What could she possibly mean by a leafless tree made of cardboard? Oh! the mind goes wild!!
The reason for her method is a different subject. So, you believe because society is fearful of taboos that are simply a part of human nature, artists like Lady Gaga are inclined to be flamboyant? I strongly agree! However, she will never satisfy people who don't care for "lower" art. This is sensual to you, but uninspiring to me. Of course, you might call my "high" art a "low" art too. Hehe...
I understand. Fun is an important element of life. GREEN was so-so! The purpose was too obvious. If midori (how cute... name of her dancer is green!) and Ayumi didn't do a romantic dance but only shared a few intimate glances, I would have been intrigued. She should have excluded Gomi and Shuya, too. Don't misunderstand me, I am a gay person, but it was so silly. Whatever!
