Turandot - Puccini
by DefinitelyNotScott
What bond stretched out over time to bring us together, Turandot and myself? I do not know. Perhaps her blood was too true to mine, perhaps she cried out to her ancestors and my soul was the one to echo back her cry - I only know that one day the afterlife could not hold me and I slipped back into the world beside a pale and hollow-eyed Turandot. Since that day I have been by her side, and I have held nothing back from her.

How does an artist find inspiration and then act on it? Quite a unique question that an artist may ponder on. Well, it's almost impossible to find the answer to the question, but in simple terms, it all depends on the artist. Creativity flourishes in individuals differently, and frankly, pinpointing the exact inspirations starts from the very beginning. Not every artist is the same and it's important to know that not all artists get inspired by the same thing. Though truth is plain to see, artist's get inspired by anything and everything. This essay scrapes the top of how I became an artist, who I am as an artist and why I became that artist. Simply, my artists' journey.
