Why does my beautiful work still feel hollow?

You can make almost anything look finished. You sand every edge until it shines. And still, something in you asks if the shine was the whole job. It was not. You have trained your hand and starved your aim. Nobody made you choose a purpose — you chose technique instead, because technique is safer. It earns praise without ever forcing you to decide what you're for. This is not a crisis of skill. It is a gap where a decision should be. Name what the work is for, and who needs it done, before you refine another line.
