Theme: Your Thoughts on Organ Donation

Second Place, School Category, 2018

Artist statement:

A passport is a very important booklet in one's life. It allows people to travel to different destinations. In my work, my passport allows people to live on in life. It is a visual representation of donating an organ, a pass to someone's new beginning. On the passport, it has a logo made up of two thumbprints. This passport hence represents giving a heart\life from the dead to the living. At the side, flowers are used to complement this act of passing on. At the bottom, wilted flowers can be seen. As it slowly goes up, flowers start blossoming, showing life. This is how I feel about organ donation. It is a 'passport to a new beginning'
