You are often asked to explain your work, as if the reader isn't able to work it out. And people always try and label you by your work.

I don't want to be understood because if people understand me, they get tired of me.

I don't want to expose the intricacies of my work so people can understand how I did it.

People have to find ways of explaining the work.

I just don't feel like I have to explain myself.

You don't want to spend your life explaining yourself.

People understand me so poorly that they don't even understand my complaint about them not understanding me.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

However, some of my work is very subtle, and one should expect very subtle reactions to it.

If the work is pure then you have to think it could be understood. If it is not understood it doesn't mean that your work is not accessible. It doesn't worry me, but, of course, I would be pleased if people liked my work.
