Stalker
I have a few thoughts about the concept of art/creation:
The Writer illuminated on how consumers will ingest art regardless of its quality, both good and bad. He views their behavior as animalistic, devouring the filth of the soul just to fill themselves up and keep wanting more. He uses the word “soul” because he believes that art is an extension of the soul.
However, he ruminates on his artistic motivations. Does he have a desire to create purely out of his own humanity, or to please humanity to feed his ego? He questions his venture to the Room. If his desire is to be perceived as a genius — by both himself and his audience — and his wish is granted, then what would he be working for?
Theoretically, his desire to write should not vanish if his motivations were purely of his own humanity. But again, he notes that his motivations to write are cyclical with his audience. He gives, they take, and so on.
Going into the Room illuminates on the visitor’s innermost desire, and that cannot be fully unveiled beforehand as it is subconscious. His self-awareness saves him from the true reality of his desires. Why jeopardize the journey of your human life for an unknown gain? Would one really be so satisfied with the result if it were so easy to attain?
