• The best art knows how to pose

    She’s been doing it for 500 years. The world’s most famous smile ain’t a happy accident. It’s a pose, held perfectly. She understood the assignment: to be seen and to be talked about.

    We do this all the time now, whether it’s the deliberate poise in a crisis or the quiet confidence of a well-cut suit. It’s all a kind of art. It’s knowing how you want to be seen, and holding that shape just long enough for the world to get it.

    The real work is in the presentation. A firm act of showing up as you intend to. That’s the art that lives.
