Inspired by the theme “Stay Gold” and the poignant quote from The Outsiders—”Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren’t so different. We saw the same sunset”—this piece takes the form of a scrapbook, weaving together fragments of memories and experiences. The sunset, as a universal symbol, serves as the centerpiece, uniting disparate lives and worlds through a shared appreciation of beauty and time. Each layer and detail reflects the personal and collective moments that shape our stories, offering a visual narrative that bridges differences while celebrating the common threads that connect us all.
