Essay Topic:When the Walls Went Up – A Transformative Tale of Change and Resilience
JURY COMMENT
Naïla’s essay, an engaging childhood memoir, explores the idea of ‘transformative’ in relation to chaos theory. She draws on her vivid memory and a series of beautifully rendered collages to describe how adding a single floor to her family home transformed their relationship with the community in ways that were natural but unforeseen.
