Art seduces, but does not exploit.

Art seduces, but does not exploit.

Summary

This quote suggests that art has the power to captivate and attract us, drawing us into its realm. However, unlike in exploitation, art does not take advantage of us or manipulate our emotions for selfish gain. Instead, it invites us to engage in a meaningful and immersive experience, allowing us to find beauty, inspiration, or profound reflections within its boundaries. Art offers a transformative encounter, creating a space for self-expression and emotional connection without crossing boundaries of manipulation or harm.
