The “I don’t know” that generates

Total insecurity and lack of knowledge can seem like an obstacle, a burden, a limitation. In reality, this is precisely where the greatest creativity often arises.
When I feel insecure, I have no pattern or certainty to defend: I simply follow my inner impulse to act. It is a spontaneous, almost inevitable gesture, which requires neither justification nor confirmation.
In those moments, there is no calculation, no thought: "This will be appreciated, it will be a beautiful work." There is only the need to create, even if I don't know if the result will be appreciated, understood, or considered "beautiful."
And it is precisely there, in this fragility, that the true work takes shape. Without expectations, without certainties, but with the authentic force of a necessary creative act.
Security reassures, but does not transform.
The “I don’t know” opens up an infinite space where creativity finds its maximum freedom.
