Wonderful. Like an Ars Poetica written at the start of a writing career rather than midway through. Not at all lacking in inventiveness.

To me, any expression, at the center of which is a beautiful idea, and unravels itself creatively to make a point or tell a story is art. That could be mime, music, painting, or even yep even an essay. Art is about subtly moving and inspiring me against my own will and showing me possibilities that I had not seen. I see essays as an art form:) I don't know about overrated art, but I feel painting is an overused and over recognized art medium! Maybe photography needs to be recognized more as art.
