All art is a form of poetry. It's always changing, never fixed. We may think we know what a piece we made means, yet over time that interpretation may change. The creator stops being the creator once they finish the work. They then become the viewer. And the viewer can bring as much of their own meaning to a piece as the creator.
We will never know a work's true meaning. It's helpful to remember that there are forces at work beyond our comprehension. Let's make are, and let others make the stories.
-Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being
