We are pausing the Weerdmeester Streak for one week. However, this challenge is inspired by the last one.
Take a look at this dialectic of opposites:
Alive -> Dead -> Undead
Something is alive and then becomes dead, and when it is brought back to life it does not reverse. It becomes undead. Undead is not dead but it is also not alive. It is something completely different and new.
Now for this challenge we will continue this process and go to one step further to „non-undead”.
Alive -> Dead -> Undead -> Non-undead
Again it is a complete new quality, different than each one before. Not alive, not dead, and not undead also. What exactly is non-undead? I have no idea. You will try to answer that question in this challenge.
Pixel how you understand "non-undead".
The form is completely open. It can be a sprite, a scene, a portrait, whatever you need.
