Theme: Quintessence of Being

While all of us are bound to have our own personal understanding of ourselves, the very first essence of being human is the same. Though individualistic experiences inevitably play a pivotal role in creating perceptions of the world around us, there is no denying of a common, shared identification among us all. After all, this is what builds our connectivity with the community and this is what makes us human.
