In a quiet corner, 9th-grade student Lillyn Shotwell sat captivated by her latest project, an intricate piece of artwork that would become a profound reflection of a word she recently discovered:

SONDER

For Lillyn, this wasn’t just about creating a beautiful piece; it was an exploration of empathy, curiosity, and endless stories that unfold behind every window. Each window reveals a different scene, some joyful, some somber, some ordinary, some extraordinary, all reminding viewers that everyone has their own story! It is a reminder that behind every window, there is a universe of experiences waiting to be explored. In a world that often rushes past, Lillyn’s windows encourage us to pause, look closer, and embrace the profound beauty of SONDER!

Amazing artwork Lillyn! Keep exploring and sharing your incredible talent!
