High school student exploring how people experience stillness in our modern world.
Why This Research Matters to Me
"Stillness matters to me because it represents those rare, minimal moments where the chaotic world we live in fades away and the thoughts we spend so much energy avoiding finally surface and demand our attention."
I'm curious about how different people find and experience quiet moments, especially across different cultures and generations.
