A MOSAIC

AwareNearth is building a living mosaic of human emotion. Through the "Future is in Our Hands" Challenge, we empower people everywhere to document their deepest feelings in the face of a changing world and the spectrum of existential threats surrounding us.

This project transforms individual vulnerability into a powerful collective legacy. To date, over 700 emotions have been captured across four continents, creating a raw and honest archive of our shared humanity. As we continue our journey with upcoming stops in North America, Africa, and the Pacific, the mosaic grows into a testament of global resilience.

The aim is to display the final mosaic at the UN General Assembly in New York in September 2026. By documenting what we value most today, we are ensuring that the soul of our generation is preserved to guide those who will inherit the world in 2050 and beyond.
