The Importance of Beauty

Simply put, I want my thesis to be beautiful. I want people to want to look at it. I want people to enjoy looking at it. However, I do not want to make something that is beautiful for the sake of being beautiful. I want to make something meaningful that people will spend time looking at and thinking about because they enjoy the experience.

There is definitely something to be said for art that visually arrests the viewer, assaults the eyes, and draws out thought through emotional discomfort, but that it not what I want to do.
