'To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.'
- Freya Stark, B. 1893
British Writer
I've been trying to develop my muse as someone who is curious, daring, adventurous. Yet very mysterious. A nomad who likes to travel, to explore and experience the unknown.
I was reminded of Sofia Coppola's movie Lost in Translation (2003) and how the tone of this movie is very similar to the way I am picturing my muse to be.
For those who haven't seen it, the film is set in Tokyo, Japan and focuses on the relationship between two strangers who meet at the hotel they are staying at. One is a middle-aged actor (Bill Murray) and the other the lonely wife of a photographer. Both feeling alone in a foreign country, they find in each other comfort and companionship.
A little melancholic, but mystifying, the film captures the strange encounters we experience through life and the unexpected bonds we create.
