Theme: Break Free!!! - Think out ‘o’ (c)loud

Every cloud has a silver lining. The cloud symbolizes life itself in real time with multiple hues. Sometimes gloomy somber melancholic draped in darkness and at others tearing apart with a bright, frothy silver lining of ideas designed in hope and whipped with an imaginative flavor. The Theme - Break free!!! reflects the bright happy side of the cloud literally and figuratively depicting ideas break-free from an existing doom ready to be served on a diverse canvas in the new normal.
