This speaks deeply to the kind of art that knows its own weight. I keep circling one question, though: what about the work made in grief, in confusion, in rage without clarity?

I would say yes because eventually it forms its own message and the viewer can create that message as well. However, the intent to express is a form of creative visionary if you’re doing it to make a difference.
For example, most of my abstract work comes from emotions but I’m clear on where those emotions come from and how can they help others. Emotional art can help others even when you’re aiming to help yourself.
