I think the biggest takeaway from this film is what we are capable of achieving creatively when we are forced to push the boundary of the status quo. When we are pushed to do the unconventional we can create marvels.
I think this is the case in everything related to art or anything we as humans create. For example, when I am working on any art piece, I ask myself, “How can I make this in such a way that nobody can ever replicate it?” Inspiration from others is important, but individuality and your mark are critical to anything we create.
These mind bending situations also allow us to explore techniques that we wouldn’t have thought to use otherwise. In many cases, achieving the unique requires using unique methods. Your tools may be different than others’, the temperature could affect your work, the sun could be shining at a different angle; all these things and more are factors that contribute to creating not only a unique work, but a masterpiece you can be proud to put your name on.
