Quote by Patti Smith
...the law of empathy, by which he could, by his will, transfer himself into an object or a work of art, and thus inflence the outer world. He did not feel redeemed by the work he did. He did not seek redemption. He sought to see what others did not, the projection of his imagination.
Summary
This quote highlights the idea of the "law of empathy," which suggests that through sheer willpower, one can immerse themselves into an object or artwork and indirectly impact the world around them. The individual in question does not find salvation through their creations nor actively pursues it. Instead, their objective is to perceive what others overlook - the manifestation of their own imaginative projections. In essence, they strive to connect with their surroundings on a deeper level and trigger unique perspectives in others.
