Beauty

I think it was about two years ago when I realized that in order to find something satisfying, I needed to be able to find beauty in it. It is probably something different that other people need to find in what they do, but for me it is beauty.

I find tremendous beauty in math. The beauty is not a visual beauty but an intellectual one. Beauty in its simplicity; beauty in its structure.

Art also holds beauty for me. Its beauty is both visual and intellectual. As an artist, I see a different beauty in art than most people; it is one of conception and creation.

I am lucky. People can spend an entire lifetime and never fully understand what the things are that they most greatly prize. Beauty is my key.
