As artists, we’re told to “keep going,” even when no one seems to care. But what does it really feel like to make work that might only be understood long after we're gone? In this episode, I talk about the haunting thought that maybe my art won’t be fully appreciated until I’m not here to see it… and why I keep creating anyway.

I share stories of iconic artists who were ignored in their time, and how their persistence reminds me that recognition doesn’t define worth. This one’s about ego, faith, and the uneasy practice of creating without validation—trusting the work even if it’s only understood long after we’re gone.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your work matters when no one’s watching, this episode is for you.
