Horcruxes
I’m feeling like flushing out an idea I have about art. I made a needle-felted toad for someone who is very important to me and every time I create a physical object I have this same thought about horcruxes. In Harry Potter, a horcrux is a place where Voldemort essentially puts parts of his soul so while those horcruxes exist he can never truly die. So, when I make a piece of art, that I pour myself in to I feel that on some levels I have put a piece of my spirit into that object and as long as someone…. anyone chooses to have that object around, a part of me lives forever. I just think that’s a really beautiful thought and I’ve had it for a while so I wanted to get it down here- I may refine it later- but this is the basic idea of it.
