"WE EACH DID A QUARTER OF THE PAGE WITH A FLOWER IN THE MIDDLE. I DID THE TOP RIGHT AND WANTED TO EMPHASIZE THE CONFUSION AND UNKNOWN, BUT ALSO THE DISCOVERY EVERYONE CAN GO THROUGH AT UWC AND SPECIFICALLY AS A QUEER PERSON. THERE’S NO SET PATH TO TAKE OR ANSWER TO FIND, BUT SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS YOU HAVEN’T SEEN YET" "THE BOTTOM RIGHT TELLS THE STORY OF THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN YOUR PRESENT AND FUTURE YOU AS A TRANS PERSON. A NECESSARY STORY FOR EVERYONE, BUT MOSTLY FOR PEOPLE UNDER BIG CHANGES."
