Fourteen-year-old Maxine Rose collects bones. In search of her artist’s identity, and unsure about whether to show her work to the public, she turns to her heroes - pop star Lorde, primatologist Jane Goodall, comedian Louis C.K. and Bishop Desmond Tutu - with the claim: “I deserve to be heard.” She dedicates a picture made of bones to Lorde.
