This is a curated collection of case studies presenting various serendipitous humans, represented through the creation of their innately differentiated forms of creative self-expression. These case studies therefore drive the argument concerning the importance of individuation (internal awareness and alignment of the self), as well as the process of self-actualization (the tangible expression of the individual’s aligned understanding of themselves) as it showcases the inherent quality of individuals as being idiosyncratic producers of value and value-added. These individuals consequently showcase the journey of progressing through the process of individuation, eventually enabling the consequent action of aligned self-expression, evidenced through the production and sharing of their creative outputs as an external and tangible medium that is representative of their internal state and identity.
