I like my art, but it feels like it doesn’t resonate with anyone else

Goals & Motivation :KirbyStar:

Not trying to be dramatic, but I’ve been feeling kind of discouraged about my art and I want someone to just be honest about all of this

I make collage-based and photography. I genuinely like what I’m making, but it feels like nobody else really connects with it idk. People don’t really say they like it, don’t talk about it, and definitely aren’t trying to buy it. It ends up feeling kind of isolating, like I’m the only one who sees something in it.

Idk if i should be doing something differently or if this Is this just part of being an artist and not having found the right audience yet?? Or is it more likely that my work just isn’t landing / communicating clearly? When should i start to rethink my process vs. just refining it? It feels like I got more engagement years ago than I do now.

I don’t want to completely change what I’m doing just for validation, but I also don’t want to ignore the possibility that something isn’t working whether that’s composition, presentation, or how I’m sharing it
