Dedicated to Zae · the showcase wing

Zae’s Gallery.

Where the colors live.

A gallery wing carrying the name of the kid this planet was built for. Every piece shown here was made by a cadet. Submitted, reviewed, curated. The first wing of every cadet’s career.

This gallery is named for one specific kid — the daughter this planet was built for. Her name carries the wing forever. Not because she’s the only artist who matters here. Because she’s the kid this whole planet remembers it was made for, every time you scroll past her name.

Every piece in this gallery is from a cadet who picked up the courage to submit. That’s the only requirement. The work is honored because the kid worked.

Three steps.

Step 01

Make a piece you’re proud of.

Doesn’t have to be perfect. Has to be real. You should be able to look at it and say ‘I tried.’

Step 02

Photograph it well.

Even light (window light works). Square-on, no angle. Plain background. Phone camera fine. Crop tight. No filters.

Step 03

Submit with one sentence.

Title. Your first name (no last names — we protect cadet privacy). One sentence about the piece. That’s it.

Curated, not algorithmic.

A real human curator (Nathan, the platform’s builder, or a designated tutor) reviews every submission. We show what shows commitment, voice, or real effort — not just technical polish.

Beginner work belongs here. Wonky perspective belongs here. The first portrait you ever tried belongs here. Slick polished work also belongs here. What we don’t show: AI-generated work submitted as if you made it. Traced work submitted as original. Copy-paste work from someone else’s portfolio.

Everything else — if you made it, we want to see it.

Currently empty.

The first piece displayed here will be whatever the first cadet sends in. The gallery starts the moment a submission lands. Yours could be the one that opens it.

Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.— Banksy
