Feel good Sunday: Seeing humanity through art

In his TED Talk, George Butler shares a powerful practice of slowing down in places defined by urgency and disruption. Rather than capturing quick images, he spends hours drawing people and environments shaped by conflict.

This deliberate pace changes the interaction. Sketching becomes a way to listen, to build trust, and to see individuals beyond the headlines that often reduce complex lives to brief moments. Butler shows that observation is not passive. It is an act of presence and respect.

A thoughtful reminder for Sunday: when we slow down and truly look, we often understand more than we expect.
