LIT. Not in the slang sense — though that too. In the literal sense: illuminated. On fire. Burning with something that gives off light and warmth and the kind of heat that other people can warm themselves by.
Art is that fire. Art has always been that fire.
The shirt reads: "ART SAVES." And it does. Art saved men who had no other language for what they were carrying. Art gave expression to grief that had no words. Art gave form to joy that was too large for conversation. Art gave community to isolated people who needed to know that someone else had felt what they were feeling. Art, time and again, throughout every civilization, has been the thing that caught people in free fall and gave them something to hold onto.
The man who wears this shirt is lit in the best way. Alive with creative fire. Not performing brightness — radiating it. And he knows, the way all creative people know, that the art saved him first. And that's the reason he makes it.
Art saves. He is proof.
