The gallery was hosting a silent auction, and Anya's sculpture, a delicate arrangement of metal and glass, was featured. But the email… It was even better. Her sculpture, the one she considered her best work, was now recreated as a tattoo.

She gasped. She felt suddenly invigorated. She felt electric.

She had to get out, she had to move. She ran to the nearest bookstore, looking for art supplies. She had a new idea, and couldn't wait.

She felt an overwhelming desire to create, to push herself beyond her limits. She would explore different mediums, new techniques, all inspired by the tattoo. The thought of this person, carrying her work… it was a profound feeling.
