đź’ĄI Got Famous for One Post. Now I'm Stuck in It.
Flash Grenades series of anonymous opinion blasts from inside the art world. Real voices. No names. No filters. These views are their own.
I didn’t think much of it when I posted it. Just a reel. Something quick. I was tired. I barely liked it.
But it went viral. Fast. Thousands of likes. A curator messaged me. A gallery asked if I had more work “in that direction.” Suddenly, everyone knew me—for that.
So I leaned in. Reposted it. Recreated it. I became fluent in my own repetition.
And now, I don’t know how to stop.
Every time I try to post something different, the silence hits harder. Less reach. Less interest. Less me. It’s like the algorithm punishes honesty.
I’m scared to disappear. But I’m more scared of staying visible like this—boxed inside a version of myself I don’t recognize.
That post opened the door.
Now it’s the room I’m stuck in.
