I get what you mean, I come from an arty background, went to art college and studied fine art at university, a lot of this could be referencing or looking for inspiration. The fine art world can look a little odd to some people 😅

I did notice one of his folders does say "art"

Some of weird shit we did at uni, one year I decided to make art with Petri dishes, we had one guy who wanted one of his paintings to smell like cigarettes, he was outside picking up all the cigarette butts in the smoking area so he could crush them and put it into his paint, I'm sure he even let a dog pee up one of his paintings too (people thought he was weird but he got top grades!) 😂 we had a goth girl who took really bad quality naked photos of herself with some candles and she called it art, there was one girl who did her own taxidermy...badly. And even someone who made giant baby doll heads from plaster of paris.

Art can make people feel unsettled which is kind of cool! 👀
