Quidam

Quidam. It could be anyone. The person in front of you on the bus, a classmate you haven't gotten to know yet, the new nervous co worker who only started last week, a person you brush past on a walk. Quidam is a stranger who could be anyone you don't know. Quidam is new and mysterious. Just like any stranger or new person.

Just like any stranger, Quidam brings endless possibilities. The opportunity for a fresh start or a new friend. Quidam is a person who evokes mystery, and like many new things, wonder in young children. They may be a person who others a wary around out of fear of the unknown.

Quidam may be the person you cross the street behind, the kind stranger who stops to help you pick up the belongings you've dropped or the neighbourly person who greets you as you walk by. It could be anyone. So who is it?

Quidam is a nameless passerby, a solitary figure lingering on a street corner, a person rushing past, a person who lives lost amidst the crowd in all to anonymous society.
