In this episode of Why I Create, we dive into the glossy, high-stakes world of contemporary art with a debut novelist whose background in galleries, museums, and auction houses gives her fiction a razor-sharp edge. We explore how ambition, image, and power collide in her book The Spectacle, and how storytelling can expose the hidden dynamics of industries that thrive on exclusivity.

We also talk about the creative process and what it means to build a world from the inside out.
