Every limitation limits us as an artist to some extent.
I think most people, including myself, live safely within their limits. But here’s why it’s important to constantly test those limits and explore where they lie.
A) Society. Your limitations are imposed on you by society.
Exploring the edge of your fear is the only way to learn and improve and to combat the brainwashing that society (and your peers, colleagues, bosses, friends, family) constantly impose on you.
B) Business. Going past the limitations of society or your peer group can help you solve problems that nobody has looked at yet. If you are the first guy standing on unexplored territory you can put the flag down and start charging people for it.
