This is titled Blank Canvas by Luca, age 13. Luca said: “My reason for not putting any facial features on my work is because when you are born you are ‘blank canvas’ and you are not directed to a religion, and you have no connections to life."

13-year-old Phoebe, created these cubes which were inspired by the Rubix Cube. She explained that the cube represents “all different combinations a person can possess.” When Phoebe listened to the Jo Cox quote it made her think of her class and how all the students are from different races, cultures, and religions but are brought together by friendship and education.
