- Description
- The image shows an open journal displaying two pages with handwritten text and artwork. On the left page, large, vertically-oriented words appear in light blue: "RESOLVE," "HEALTH," "STAMINA," and "LOVE." Surrounding these words, smaller handwritten text fills the margins in black ink. At the bottom, names and a designer's name, "Christian Lacroix," are noted. The right page contains a tree illustration with branches and roots, filled with the word "Hope" repeated multiple times in the branches. In the tree's trunk, the words "GROUP," "CENTER," and "ORIENT" are written in large blue letters. The edges of the page contain dense, small handwriting in black ink.
