Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.

Summary

This quote suggests that the role of artists goes beyond simply creating physical objects or artworks. Instead, it suggests that artists possess the power to create and shape mythologies. They have the ability to delve into the realms of imagination and create narratives, symbols, and stories that evoke emotions, provoke thoughts, and resonate with humanity. Artists have the potential to transcend reality and harness the transformative power of their creations, influencing cultures, societies, and individuals by weaving together narratives that become part of our collective consciousness and understanding of the world.
