My SuperHero.

My superhero is the artist. The power of expression, of freedom, oppression, of feeling; that is the greatest thing of all. I feel that you can not just choose one artist, because that would be the equivalent to seeing only the color black your entire life, just a dark abyss of nothing but a single color, no sound, no music.

But if you choose all the artists, you coniceve splashes of color and varying sounds. Some sounds would be just the harmony of voices singing as one, the feeling that, oh my I'm in heaven, or the clashing of the cymbals as the final goodbye as the music ends and you are left with the echo, echo if the cymbals, clashing, clashing, in your ears. I was told by a colleague that music is one of the driving forces of nature in a teens life. Music is created out of the feeling, idea, response that arrived at the artists head.

Everything comes from thoughts, and emotions. I think that the fact that music and art pieces are so important in my life is due to the lost of expression of self I feel myself at in these turning points of my life. The stereotypical teenager is full of feelings that are new, exciting, unexplored. They are unsure of these new powers they posses. Some days they hate the feelings they come to have, some days they feel on top of the world. But music are the words that are feed to you by the artist to explain exactly the way you feel at the exact moment. Why do you think that there are so many songs about love that are popular among teenagers? It is the hormones that we posses and our craving for the opportunity to use them.

The artist is the ultimate iconic symbol of expression of feeling from human thoughts into other formats. Say for example, biology. DNA uses the bases T, A, C, and G. But the bases that react with the amino acids can't read the DNA code. So the RNA translates the DNA code into something that is readable. That way the bases can match up with each other and the amino acids can combine in the correct squence with the end result being the protein. DNA is like a human's thought. The artists takes the thought and unscrables these feelings so that they are understandable and writes, sings, or artistically expresses those same thoughts into something else. Some other language. Sometimes the artist just doesn't make sense to you. But there is an artist out there that "speaks your language."

This is the exact reason why the Artist is my superhero. Throughout my entire lifetime, which is a really short amount considering the average lifespan of an American human; I have relied on artists to explain thoughts that would otherwise be scrabbled. The Artist is my gateway to the outside World.
