Honest Expression

Tanvi and I went to a concert with Hans Zimmer — the legendary composer and producer behind some of our favorite films: Interstellar, The Dark Night, The Lion King, and Pirates of the Caribbean. (This is my favorite!)

What a remarkable show — honoring a body of work that lasted 40 years in 150 films. It made me reflect on the power of longevity. His creative force only expanded with experience and maturity.

I was reading something similar about Pablo Picasso. He created art well into his 90s, driven by his deep commitment to honest expression— not to be famous or reach a money milestone.

He could have easily stopped, but his love of creation was the real reason to continue. Like Zimmer, it allowed him to innovate his craft over decades.

What a treat to experience the work of artists driven by this sincerity.
