What may be an inspiration to us, to me, it is the outcome of the thought process of a person after being inspired.
I get inspired by well-balanced designs, hence the Ducati Panigale that is not only an aesthetically pleasing machinery, it is technologically highly advanced yet durable.
I get inspired by athletes such as the best MLB player, Michael J. Jordan, whom happened to be the best NBA player; his contribution to design and the cult he brought about; Netflix documentary Abstract, The Art of Design.
I have to add that humor and curiosity, to me, should be part of the package so the spectator always experiences the waw effect, the element of surprise, as they go through your creation, and to walk away with humor.
