Home / Forums / Author Forums / Maria Ressa / How to Stand Up to a Dictator / HTSUTAD: In Chapter 2, Maria writes about the act of creating a work of art.
In Chapter 2, Maria writes, “I began to realize that the work of art you’re creating is your life; that the person you are today has been created by all your past selves, that your actions today actually change those earlier versions of yourself….The person I am is an act of creation. I can seize the past and transform all I have learned and turn it into something new. I control who I am and who I want to be.” Why do you think Maria emphasizes this? Have you recognized this “act of creation” in your own life?
