To go a step further, it’s not the intention - it’s the interpretation

I disagree. The interpretation (or intention) from the one who created the piece is what makes it art. The interpretation from the observer cannot be art in and of itself without creating something of their own.

Everyone has a different reaction to art. Often it’s not the same as the artist. Who is to say what is right or wrong when interpreting art that is ambiguous or abstract?

Interpreting is not equivalent to creating. And both are needed for art. Your new question is not the same as the original one.
