Personal Essay
Write about a memory that has shifted meaning over time. How do you see it differently now than when it first happened? What does that change reveal about who you’ve become?
------------------​
Write about a period in your life where you had to rebuild who you were—after loss, love, illness, moving, or growing up. What did the process of becoming teach you about what remains and what disappears?
Poetry
Write a poem about shifting from the ordinary into the unordinary—from something mundane into something extraordinary. Let the language guide the transformation; it doesn't have to be explicitly stated.
------------------​
Write a poem addressed to someone who exists beyond a boundary—distance, belief, life. Explore what happens when trying to cross that boundary.

Art
Create a piece that visualizes transformation—of the body, landscape, or identity. This could be literal or abstract.
------------------​
Create a piece that contains a door, open or closed. It can be themed however you like--fantasy, modern or otherwise.

Photography
Capture a photograph that depicts a doorway, archway, mirror, or passage that feels symbolic—a space that invites crossing, hesitation, or wonder.
------------------​
Capture a photograph that depicts a memory—a childhood bedroom, an abandoned building, a cluttered kitchen table. Let the image tell the story.
