Creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined eye. Dorothy Parker
I think that creativity emerges from the balance between chaos and control. To me, a "wild mind" symbolizes the unrestrained aspect of my being that dreams without boundaries. This is where innovative ideas, unconventional thinking, and creative possibilities come to light. When I allow my thoughts to roam freely, I experience a feeling of liberation. I freely allow ideas to flow through me without inhibition or criticism. This place gives me the freedom to think in unexpected ways, occasionally messy. However, this untamed nature does not result in anything concrete.
That's when the importance of having a "disciplined eye" becomes evident. I see it as the aspect of myself that revises, molds, and perfects. It's not about controlling the untamed thoughts but rather leading them towards materialization. When I begin a project, I often have many ideas; however, I understand that not all ideas are successful. I must take a step back, observe, and implement a structure.
I believe that creativity flourishes when wildness and discipline combine. It involves allowing your imagination to run wild while also possessing the patience and clarity to shape those ideas into something significant. In my opinion, that is the genuine strength of creativity.
