“The Lost Art of Subtlety”

Welcome to a generation where reading a full sentence feels like a marathon,
where attention spans are stitched together with blinking emojis and vibrating notifications.

A time where every idea must come with bright colours, sound effects, and kindergarten illustrations
before the mind decides it is worthy of meaning.

The art of subtlety is starved.
Nuance is dehydrated.
Silence is suspicious.

If a story does not scream,
if wisdom does not twerk,
if truth does not arrive wearing cartoon graphics and flashing fonts,
the masses scroll past it like it never existed.

We are witnessing a world where depth is considered “difficult,”
reflection is considered “boring,”
and thinking actual thinking is treated like a migraine.

A Reflection from the SIMU Collection.
