I met a traveler from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

-Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Our artist is a traveler from an antique land who comes from a time lost in the mists of the past. Their purpose, like all creatives, is exploration. They are travelers, finding moments with people and places that reveal the fundamental truth about art and beauty. Their path has taken them along the winding road of time, always searching for an understanding of past, present, and future. They walk alongside the great artists, learning from them, appreciating their work, and teaching the value of knowledge to others.

They were last been seen at the legendary Carnivale of Venice. Where they had the privilege to learn and explore the sights and sounds of those mesmerizing nights. Where art and beauty combine with frivolity, and truth is only what we make it. Today our artist is here for the sole purpose of seeing those standing pillars in the desert. As a figure with a deep sense of the passage of time, it behooves them to seek out places and people at their height, at their most beautiful. Before, the clock ticks forward, which is not as it was. Let our artist capture that spark of beauty that can only be found here and now. Creating something worthy of encapsulating this moment as a spot of time that can always be looked back upon in fondness.
