About the theme:
Our theme for February is LAYERS.
It was chosen by our Lausanne in Switzerland and illustrated by Catherine Pearson, and is presented by our global partner Adobe.
Simplicity provides clarity, but layers give our work a richer complexity and depth. Just like a collage is created by overlapping layers of found materials, we pile up experiences that form our beliefs and reactions. People have layers too.
It is the layers that give life meaning. We must peel them away to discover our deeper truths.
