People are Onions

A three-part publication reflecting on connection and curiosity.

A compilation of stories, life lessons and golden nuggets from elders that would otherwise vanish with the life that lived it.
Final Year Project, SIM-RMIT

INTROPeople are Onions is a three-part publication of golden nuggets and invaluable lessons from our elders.

It is about curiosity, something that’s been forgotten in our busy, fast-moving lives. Real, genuine curiosity leads to connection.

People are Onions is about connection or perhaps, reconnection. Connecting with those that we may write off as dated or naggy. When outside of our narrow vision, there has been a whole life of emotions and lived-experiences just as complex as ours.

I hope this publication reminds you of elders in your life. I hope it sparks questions and curiosity, and I hope you act on that curiosity. There is a source of rich truth and experiences to unearth and learn from—and it is much closer than you think.

You need only ask.
