Why the Most Personal Art Reaches the Most People

At nineteen, I wrote an angry short story about a real person — one specific, slightly ridiculous guy in a garage in Lima. I expected people to laugh at him. Instead, they got quiet and started wondering about themselves.In this episode, I unpack why that happens — and why it happens every time. The principle is called universalisation, and it's probably the most useful thing I know about how creative work actually reaches people. I'll show you how it shows up in sculpture, photography, advertising, and writing — and give you one clear thing to change in how you approach your own work.Support the channel: https://ko-fi.com/uncagedcreativityWork one-on-one with me: uncaged-creativity.com
