In this episode, I explore the idea of “Creative DNA,” inspired by Twyla Tharp’s book The Creative Habit. This concept suggests that each of us has a unique creative code—an internal compass that shapes the way we see, create, and express. I reflect on how this idea aligns with previous thoughts shared here about developing a personal style, and how understanding this inner DNA can bring clarity and depth to our work. I also share my own process of self-analysis using Tharp’s 33 questions and the insights gained from reviewing my photographic portfolios. Through this, I’ve come to recognize that my most meaningful work consistently evokes a felt response, not just aesthetic appreciation.
