Page 10: We each have ways that, to some, may seem strange.
Artist: Yet to be discoveredβ

Page description and purpose: I'm looking for an artist who is willing to share their drafts and creative process for this page. Page 10 isn't about being polished, nor is it about conformity. The style of images shared on this page will show that life is ever-changing, that growing pains are real at all stages of life, and that it's always ok to change perspective. By celebrating the entire creative journey, this page teaches us to embrace the strange, beautiful, and messy process of being human. It reframes our perceived "strangeness" not as a flaw, but as essential evidence of our unique individuation, our ongoing transformations, and directly disarms the fears that fuel othering in ourselves and in others. By sharing the evolution of the drawing as it comes to life, it not only shows the work that goes into the final piece but also represents the transformations we each go through in time with life. This page will show humans at different stages of life to demonstrate that as we age, our wisdom should deepen and our perspectives broaden — but only if we don't stay set in our ways. Otherwise, we harden, erode, and rust. So, movement is essential — of body, mind, and spirit. This page affirms that life should be experienced, not performed — that we should embrace this dance of existence, unashamed of our quirks and not shying away from our own and others' differences. We can and must be adaptable and open, and learn to love our own 'strangeness' and the strangeness of strangers. The page ideas will be shared directly with the artist.
