This research really opened my eyes to the connection my idea has with art. \u00a0I was aware of how art related before, but now I feel a need to think more about it.<\/p>\n

I also think I have moved away from trying to create an object that is absolutely only meaningful to myself. \u00a0Through my research I have started to think that it is impossible. \u00a0Seeing images labeled “meaningless” made me feel something. \u00a0Does that give them meaning?<\/p>\n
