“The Artist’s obligation is towards their art
Not to a demand
Nor a trend
And certainly not another’s opinion

What if the Artist’s obligation changes?
When a studio molds itself into a factory
Does the Artist name herself the Producer?
Most would be certain to say
A certain feeling towards Art would decay

A sadness would grow
Would the Producer get lost in her success
Or would the Artist persevere and show?”

“For me, creation can only come out of a certain kind of sadness…” -Rei Kawakubo
