The subjective experience of 'beauty' often involves the interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being. In its most profound sense, beauty may engender a salient experience of positive reflection about the meaning of one's own existence. An 'object of beauty' is anything that reveals or resonates with personal meaning.
"Here's the new art of the twenty-first century: the art of curating, the art of plucking all the good stuff from a superabundance of crap... Why should you view something that's not great?"
