Description
The image shows an open notebook revealing several pages filled with handwritten text in different colors. The right page contains large, blue handwriting with phrases written in a personal narrative, showing signs of wear near the top with a brown, textured sticker or tape. The left page features red handwriting with a list of names. Surrounding this are multiple layers of other papers, some with intricate blue-green wave patterns, and others with lines of blue handwritten text or swirling designs in beige and black. The notebook is filled with clippings and notes, creating a layered effect that looks both organized and chaotic. The most visible paper layers have hand-inscribed notes, making the content highly personal and possibly reflective.

Here I am. In front of the 29 piece, seeking direction at another turning point in the life of this work.

New guys: Oliver Wyman...

New conflict, new opportunities. Speak to me.

I am not afraid. His river smooth.

Keep moving forward.

Is this my agenda for the rest of my life?

Acts of firmness. Acts of kindness.
