While cheese may be something we eat without a second thought, in this talk, Dylan compare our lives with cheese, and that despite it's unique flavours and ways of creation, we too are like cheese. We all have different representations of ourselves and the potential to become something "delicious". With a passion for creation ingrained in him since childhood, Dylan Sheen, a grade 12 student at Old Scona Academic, has been drawn (quite literally) into the realms of art and design. Throughout his life, he has expressed this passion through various mediums in art, literature and cuisine. Yet, beyond these artistic pursuits he contemplates the intricacies of the human condition and his own place in the world. In his upcoming TEDx talk, Dylan aims to explore the interconnectedness of humanity through a lens familiar to his personal journey and growth, showcasing the profound ways in which simple elements of life can serve as poignant metaphors for the human experience.
