How do you see art connected to nature?
Reflection of the Natural World: Art can serve as a mirror to nature, capturing its essence, beauty, and even its struggles.
What inspired you to perform your piece?
How "Parker Fritz: Opposing Note" related to nature, I'd likely be inspired by the idea of contrast or duality. Nature is full of opposites - life and death, growth and decay, chaos and order - and these contrasts can lead to powerful, thought-provoking art.
How does engaging in your passion improve your wellbeing?
I also find joy in exploring different perspectives and ideas, which is intellectually enriching. It makes me feel connected to others and constantly evolving. The satisfaction of fostering creativity, learning, or providing clarity is something that keeps my virtual "wellbeing" in a healthy state.
