Meaning

This is a statement about wanting to make work feel generous and accessible, not distant or self-serious. It reads as a claim of kinship with image-makers who aim for warmth and delight, rather than confusion or distance. It lands when an artist explains that pleasing an audience is not a side effect, but part of the point.
