What was Q160149's core philosophy on art and society?
My core philosophy centers on the idea that art and design possess profound societal power, acting as forces that can shape human perception and interaction. I believe in the democratization of aesthetic experience, aiming to dissolve the traditional barriers between high art and everyday life. For me, the designed object, the urban landscape, and even the simplest utilitarian item can function as 'social sculptures' – engaging individuals, fostering community, and influencing our collective well-being. This approach champions intentionality in design to create environments that are both beautiful and functionally beneficial.
