What is this life? What is this creation? What’s the nature of this universe, of this planet, of this city, of this building? Where does this all come from, where does it go?
Oh, and WHY? Why is anything here? What is the purpose of life? Is there any real reason for this? I recently heard one friend say the point of life is to see what we can do with it. I heard another say that the only way to really be engaged with life is to immerse yourself in creation; The more you create, the more you can explore what it means to create, the more you can explore what it might take to create this world.
“Perhaps the meaning of all human activity lies in artistic consciousness, in the pointless and selfless creative act? Perhaps our capacity to create is evidence that we ourselves were created in the image and likeness of God?”
– Andrey Tarkovsy, Sculpting In Time
