Presentation

One thing I learned in culinary school is that presentation can make or break a creation. The extra effort, showmanship, and polish we put into what we do catches the eye, inspires, and excites our senses. Even a masterfully designed work of Art may fall unnoticed without the right presentation.

When our whole being is put into our creations it shows throughout. When we think we are finished it is important to take a step back and get another perspective, only when we can no longer see flaws can we truly love our creation. If our whole heart is not in what we do then the delivery will certainly reflect the lack luster energy. 

Emotions, life, and purpose should be present and well conveyed in a complete piece. In Literature characters should be alive, in Art scenes should not need explanation, and in Music feelings should resonate. Qualities in every medium should speak to the observer, what is said depends on the creator. 

Poison such as politics should never be present in Art, or the creation will be doomed to fail before any efforts at presentation are made. This world is fleeting, our work should be immortal if worth our efforts. Love your creations and present them with all your energy to everyone, you never know who you will inspire.

    Oh, yeah. An agenda should never make it into your creative endevours. There is no life in it. You have to put nothing but pure inspiration and sincerity into it. Good to have you back!

    Thank you, indeed we can't expect our creations to have substance if we don't breath pure life into them.

    Wow! You summarized the goal of every medium perfectly! Yes, the best "behind closed doors" might as well be the worst or not even be there because no one will get that peek that makes them curious. Looks may be deceiving, sometimes, but they are the essence of ATTRACTION.

    Thank you, yes looks can be deceiving but may lead to the discovery of depth of substance when we realize we have been initially fooled.

    Details are indeed the icing on the cake. If you really love your creation, you will attend to all its needs. And the proof will show in the final product.

    Yes, and no detail is too small never think that they will go unnoticed.
