"I tried to describe a planet I'd been to, to someone who couldn't see my paintings, recently. It felt like I was fumbling with my words, trying to convey everything to her. I wanted her to understand. Sometimes I miss being able to drop video and audio directly into people's feeds. But even that wouldn't have communicated how it felt, being there. I don't know how to do that. I wanted to give her the fullest understanding possible."
