Description
Though he has illustrated some of my other stories with single images of their protagonists, I can't honestly say that KalamazooCpt (kalamazoocpt.deviantart.com/) has produced anything either as impressive or wonderful as the complete retelling of "Strings Attached" from which this image is taken.
Even I admit that the idea of a frustrated harpist who allows herself to be talked into the position of actually becoming a living version of the instrument she plays is an odd one. But I enjoyed the process of creating the narrative and was amazed to see how closely he had managed to capture the same qualities in this visualisation as I wanted to achieve in the original story.

I just read this story - great galleries are like good drinks : you discover their pleasure slowly to enjoy them fully- and I enjoyed it a lot 
.
Personnaly, I don't see Nancy's experience as just becoming a beautiful object : she's rather letting her passion for the harp take her to become - quite litteraly- an instrument of her art. Becoming an object ? No, she's rather ascending and becoming a sort of avatar of the harp music : she's giving up her humanity to enjoy and play the music differently, like other people toss their previous life to enter the service of a cause.
Actually, it almost feels like a religious experience ( I'm not a believer, just observer) : she takes a leap of faith by forfeiting her freedom, and when she's played, she realizes she's been rewarded by new pleasures.
Quite quite a beautiful work from both of you, for the original story, and for the visualization.
