DO YOU?\n\n========================================\n\nBlood Donation Inspiration Prompts\nYou do not need to follow any of these prompts. They are offered simply as starting points for reflection and creativity.\n• Blood is one of the few things shared by every human being.\n• A single donation can help multiple lives.\n• Blood cannot be manufactured. It can only be given.\n• Blood travels across borders, languages, cultures, and beliefs.\n• What does it mean that life can be passed from one stranger to another?\n• Red blood cells survive only about 42 days in storage. Platelets only 5–7 days. How might time, urgency, or renewal be explored visually?\n• Somewhere in the world, someone is waiting for blood right now.\n• Donation is an act of care performed without knowing who may receive it.\n• What does solidarity look like?\n• What does “shared humanity” look like?\n• How can art transform awareness into action?\n\n
