Stamps Stories - Making a commemorative stamp

In my formative years of education, I embraced the foundational 3Rs (Reading, wRiting, and aRithmathic).

However, as of late, I find myself going through a process of re-education. The pillars of my old 3Rs have crumbled, replaced by the new 3Rs (Religion, Race, Royalty)

To commemorate 42 years of my education, both formal in informal thereafter, I've depicted my journey through stamps—symbolic of an outdated system, reminiscent of the values of my childhood.

Through this artwork, I reflect on the evolution of my education both formal and informal , thereafter.
And the impact on the way I perceive the situation today.

I depicted my journey by cutting up stamps and piece by piece, I glued them into something else.

Is there a way to go back to simpler times, when we were not distorted by the fear of random people putting things into our phones?

Is there a way back to building things slowly, piece by piece, step by step, one moment at a time?
