In this video Phil Hansen is in a struggle to complete his dream of becoming an artist after he found out he had a permanent nerve damage that didn't let him make his art work "correctly". After going to a neurologist who just simply suggested him to "embrace the shake" he started to gain more confidence about the creation of his art. That same day he realize he could make art with his shaky hand and come up with art, even though it wasn't the type of creativity he wanted to see, he soon realize it was part of the struggle. After thinking of ways to bring his art up to a good creativity, he started to think of different ways he could make art without using his hands, coming up with many different ways to create art in very unique ways. After realizing that "embracing limitations can drive creativity" he started his career again as an artist again by going back to art school and getting a job. But as he was getting back to his "normal life" he found soon enough that thinking too much outside of the box was making him lose his creativity so in order for him to get back his creativity he had to start thinking inside the box once again. What he did next was that he started looking back to his "shaky hand" and came up with that maybe he needed to see some limitations within the art in order to create an amazing art. "What I thought to be the alternate limitation came out to be the alternate liberation," after doing his "Goodbye Art" projects he noticed that he was learning to let go, letting go outcomes, failure and imperfection. All of this learning and embracing his limitations got him through art, it also came to be helpful to him in his Life. With all of this story he learned to overcome whatever it crosses him to see the finished project in the way he wants it. At the end he says "maybe if we seize the limitations we have we can overcome any obstacle we have and confront it." We have to look for new ways to make art even if we can't we need to find ways to do art with other materials, get out of our comfort zone and make something new that will inspired others to do the same.
