Imagine a large piece of canvas/cloth. On this piece, the artist (Resh) will find elements from your image of which she will sketch/paint. Your name & location will be hand painted by her next to it or anywhere else on the canvas roll depending on your choice of remaining anonymous. This process will continue as she adds elements from images others have shared with her. Thus, it won't be a copy work, a pasted transfer nor will she misuse your content. She will merely try and reflect it in her own style while combining it with those of others.
