Say you look at a painting made by Monet. They are beyond beautiful. They capture you into their colour palette and story and influence you into keep looking at them.
Yet, those beautiful paintings are only a result, an outcome, a surface. Because, there is more to the story. Those painting don’t tell you about the pain Monet experienced when losing not just his wife but also his son. Those painting won’t tell you about the many hours Monet spent studying his idea. They won’t tell you about the space he bought to remember his wife. And certainly they won’t tell you about the failed attempts.
And there are two reasons for that. First, the story, the outcome, the result, the surface it’s for you. You can interpret it however you want, it’s a gift. Second, the processes of coming up with those paintings are private, they belong to Claude Monet and Claude Monet only.
