A Work of Heart is a creative project led by Simona Wiig and Megan C. Norton-Newbanks that invites individuals with a Third Culture experience to share their stories through art. This first volume is a curated collection of artwork by and for Cross-Cultural Kids (CCKs), Third Culture Kids (TCKs), global nomads, and anyone whose identity has been shaped by crossing cultures. In these pages, you will find glimpses into the emotions, memories, and transitions that define a life lived across borders. Simona and Megan, both Adult TCKs, artists, and storytellers, are passionate about honoring the beauty and complexity of the Third Culture journey. Drawing on their experience facilitating creative spaces for TCKs, they created this artbook to amplify voices that are often scattered across continents yet deeply connected by shared themes of identity, belonging, home, and change.
