“Art is about building a new foundation, not just laying something on top of what's already there”
— Prince

Simplified Meaning:
Creating art is like starting something entirely new, rather than just adding to what already exists. Imagine you want to build a house. Instead of just putting paint on an old, crumbling wall, you tear down the old walls and build strong, fresh ones from the ground up. This way, you have something truly unique and strong. In real life, think of how inventors work. Someone who invents a new phone doesn't simply put new features on an old model; they think deeply about what people need and build a brand new design. Applying this to art, an artist shouldn't be afraid to think outside the box and start from scratch. This approach leads to innovation and fresh perspectives, rather than just slightly improving what's already been done.
