Why I Create: In Search of Something Greater

Published: 9/16/2025

Duration: 01:04

Some artists create in order to emote. I make to understand.

Da Vinci used art, notes, and inventions as a vehicle to study life and nature, and that’s the lane I resonate with.

I’m not Leonardo, but the impulse is similar: creation as inquiry into the unknown.

I don’t always know exactly what I’m searching for, but curiosity keeps me going.

Key Takeaways:
- Art as a tool for learning, not just expression
- The difference between “make to feel” vs “make to understand”
- Why not knowing the final answer is still a good reason to start
- If this hits, share it with a creative who’s also chasing the bigger “why.”
