Art is for opening little portholes to a subject we’re all familiar with in some way and saying “let me teach you how I see this thing, let me show you how to get emotional about it the way I get emotional about it” ‪@coelasquid.bsky.social‬

related-feeling bit from Kazuo Ishiguro's Nobel Prize lecture, emphasis mine:

"I’ve been emphasising here the small and the private, because essentially that’s what my work is about. One person writing in a quiet room, trying to connect with another person, reading in another quiet – or maybe not so quiet – room. Stories can entertain, sometimes teach or argue a point. But for me the essential thing is that they communicate feelings. That they appeal to what we share as human beings across our borders and divides. There are large glamorous industries around stories; the book industry, the movie industry, the television industry, the theatre industry. But in the end, stories are about one person saying to another: This is the way it feels to me. Can you understand what I’m saying? Does it also feel this way to you?"
