I had a woodworking professor that was fond of saying "it's art, does art need a purpose?" To which my retort was "it does if it's going to take up space on my desk". I will admit that sometimes it's nice to have something whose only function is to be pretty and smell nice, even for just a little while. Both lines of thought are totally valid though!

I made a gift for a new partner this weekend — it was an origami tesselation. I use translucent paper for them, so they look really cool if you stick them on your window. It felt like a safe gift because it was functionally free, and it also doesn't take up space
