Driven by the power of art, designer and visual artist Jackie K uses her artistic skills to shape human experiences and build stronger communities.

Last November, the artist decided to visualized passions and gratitude into miniature drawings to remind us about our humanity amidst the chaos around us.

According to Jackie, the initial purpose of the project is to have a mental break from working full-time. Then it changed into a challenge that tested her creativity.

She reached out to her friends and even strangers and asked about their passions and the things they’re most grateful for. Their responses were inspiring and heartwarming, which are reflected in her drawings.

30/30 • This hand belongs to a little girl living in a big world. There’s a whole lot of insecurities living in her mind but one thing for sure is her #passion for the power of art, design, and technology to shape communities and build genuine relationships. Creating has always been an outlet for her to fill a void that’s been neglected since childhood; a wholesome distraction that supplies a purpose for living. This modest craft had kept her breathing during the loneliest times, so she feels replenished when she witnesses her work touch even just one person in return. At this point in her life, she’s #grateful she can finally look straight down at where her feet is planted, and see the greenness of the grass glistening from below. #HandsofGratitude

25/30 • This hand carries an integral quality that I sincerely admire. Down-to-earth and free of all things pretentious. Nothing's for show; everything's sincere. Having her a part of my life has led to the realization that learning and teaching is independent of age and experience. Some individuals innately carry virtues that are not skills turned into lesson plans written down plainly in a textbook. Her intrinsic trait seems to tie back to her #passion for dogs as we, humans, have so much to learn from these pure lives. She's #grateful for the ones who have inspired her to "grow a backbone to tackle challenges with confidence and courage"—to fulfill her dream to end all animal sufferings. #HandsofGratitude

21/30 • This hand is the essence of innovation. She never ceases to amaze me with her innate entrepreneurial spirit. The sky is never the limit; her ideas are constantly skyrocketing and her grit strengthens after every obstacle. Her exuberance in pursuing a #passion that will kindle a sense of purpose while generating greater impact on the world reminds me of "The Confidence Molecule." #serotonin ••• "We are all just a huge cluster of molecules, floating around an expanding universe. So I guess we're pretty insignificant in comparison to the rest of the universe." But when we challenge ourselves on a regular basis, we grow in our confidence and happiness after every accomplishment, big or small. #HandsofGratitude
