To me it is all about the content and story. From childhood the way I perceived art was in a vivid form that was directly related to my daily life experiences (the highs and lows), interesting observations of the world, the meta narratives of the world (global order and suffering), oral narrations, the movies and novels that affect me. Among the novels, I'm fascinated by the classics as the time, scenes, context, and story is set in a time that is not relatable. Reading classics is boring to me if not for the vividness I can add through my imagination. My first realization of how reading affected my art was when I was 9 and I read Animal Farm. My father was into political science and he made me understand Orwell's intention of using animals to talk about bigger politics. This extrapolation was something that expanded my imagination and gave form to my thoughts - it was magic to me. So, when imaginations and thoughts run out, I usually try to grab a novel and watch some movies awaiting the thoughts that flow during and after.
