The reading challenges the traditional separation between artistic disciplines by showing how deeply interconnected music and visual art have become, particularly through the lens of artist-musicians. What stood out to me was how necessity, personal affinity, and cultural shifts dissolve the boundary between “art” and “music” as fixed identities. It becomes clear that being an artist today often means being multidisciplinary by default — especially as digital tools and cultural platforms blur creative categories. The reflection this invites is that creativity is not just about mastering a medium, but about navigating between them. In many cases, the most radical or resonant work emerges not from staying in one lane, but from embracing the ambiguity and hybrid nature of contemporary artistic identity. It prompts a reevaluation of authorship, originality, and even professionalism — not as barriers to cross, but as areas to explore fluidly.
This made me reflect on my own creative practice and how naturally I’ve gravitated toward working across different mediums. It made me feel seen in the messiness of experimenting, switching roles, and being curious about tools outside my comfort zone. Especially in a time when digital platforms allow for cross-pollination so easily, it’s not about fitting into one box, but about finding the language that best expresses the idea — even if that means inventing new ones. This encourages me to embrace the in-between more fully, and see it not as indecision, but as potential.
