Our 2024 Creatives pushed their artistic boundaries in the pursuit to exemplify CHAOS. Students explored the way CHAOS is inevitable — through the mundane or the extraordinary, whether embraced or challenged. We’re honoured to have the opportunity to support our fellow Creatives and wish the graduating classes of 2024 endless inspiration in their pursuits!
THANK YOU TO OUR 2024 CREATIVES!

CHAOS: Redefined
E.X
To me, chaos is hidden amongst the calmest of things- beyond the beauty of the night sky, behind the masks of the evil. We as human beings were born chaotic, bringing to our world both brilliant spectacles and catastrophic calamities. The innate hatred and greed deep within us frantically consume our fragile lives, yet they so accurately define us as a species. I wish for no chaos in this world; I dream of a land with eternal
peace. I wish for chaos, for it blasts rainbows of colors into our mundane lives.

A chaotic system that appears totally random, unpredictable and uncontrollable, actually follows its own secret rules, and has a purpose and origin that can be explained. These rules can't be fully understood, since they are ever-changing and come from an unordinary starting point, like an inert chemical imbalance within the brain. The unrelenting overstimulation, overwhelm and inconsistency in mood and focus of ADHD is chaotic in definition, it has no pattern, and makes no sense. Yet as someone who lives with these symptoms daily, they are an expected part of life, and completely normal. Chaos is all about perspective.
T.K
Chaos is a cause of creation, through accident or purpose, by natural or unnatural means, for positive or negative outcome, and that makes it a very powerful thing, but still something that cannot be controlled. I have a great appreciation for art and music that embraces a little chaos, it makes it more unique and authentic in the fact that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to replicate, even by the original artist. So all in all, I mean to say that life is full of chaos, but chaos can be beautiful, and it should be cherished for all the times that it is.
