Perhaps the root of aesthetics (beautiful or ugly) is based on physiology. Meaning \u00e2\u20ac\u201d beautiful things strengthen us, and ugly things weaken us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
For example when I think about art and design, I have a strong taste and preference for what I like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Lamborghini cars<\/li>
- Yeezy 350 Sneakers <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
What do these things have in common? An aggressive stance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I like aggressive design \u00e2\u20ac\u201d because it perhaps matches my philosophical ideal of aggressiveness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Art values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If aesthetics are ethics<\/a>, then it means that our artwork is a reflection of us. We are our artwork, and our artwork is us. A synthesis of artist and creation (not as separate). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
