Hey there, kids.

Late last year, I gave an online workshop to the kids at the Sappho's school in Dubai.

Once upon a time in an extraordinary city, in their settlement on a newly formed planet,

a giant glass dome encased around. Sparkly unicorns flew gracefully overhead while flying cars zoomed above.

There lived two best friends called Evelyn and Izzy.
