Answer one question below, with as much detail and truth as possible.

Thank you for being a part of The Iris Project!

The Iris Project is the name of our book, featuring a collection of over 100 human iris images captured with a high-resolution camera and a specialty lens. After receiving and extraordinary amount of support, we realize that this book should not only be visually stunning, it should promote humanity and compassion.

We are hoping to collect a piece of writing from each individual who has volunteered to shoot their eye. This poem, memory, dream, etc. will be completely anonymous, accompanying the image of your eye. It can be lighthearted, or it can be deep. Just be true to yourself.

Please help us make this book as beautiful as it can be by submitting your own personal passage. There is no minimum or maximum word limit to this submission. You can refer to the prompts bellow as guidelines or write your own submission at the bottom. You may write in any language you wish.
