Do we take notice of hidden inspirations that lie dormant in our day-to-day lives, awaiting disclosure? These are prompts, often subtle and nuanced, that serve as whispers of creative possibilities, whether arbitrary or direct. These hint at potentials lying just beyond our perceptions. More broadly, the subtleties of now act as hints for what can be.

Creative aquity therefore, depends on cues, igniting a routine that morphs into habit. Just as stage actors respond to prompts or signals, the creative process for many begins with cues, guiding ideas to take form. These 'cues' can emerge from anywhere, anyone, or anything. Detecting a note amid the noise and generating with it fresher melodies is a value worth exploring.

This week we observe how creativity is sometimes a calling to envision on cue: English director and stage designer Willie Williams hits every cue as he creates dynamic landscapes for concerts; for a 150-year-old home's redesign in India, Doro alludes to cues of preservation with modern touches; Matri-Archi(tecture)'s 'Homeplace - A love letter' prompts reflections on the concept of home.

In an age saturated with information, it is crucial to actively seek out cues that aid in thoughtful consideration and intentional creation. Amid this entropy, how may we centre ourselves to heed the cues that inspire creative innovation, improvement and evolution?
