Artist statement:

This artwork represents a formula of ''Loving + Giving = DONATING = LIFE'': a colorful combination of imparting life.

This artwork has two parts. The left portrays specifically what organs (liver, heart, kidneys and corneas) can be donated under HOTA (Human Organ Transplant Act). The right portrays other parts of the body can also be donated under MTERA (Medical(Therapy, Education and Research) Act). They are portrayed like a fluid going to one another and it represents how one act supports another to achieve its goal. The ''Heart Sun'' in the center symbolizes that every donation is a bright ray of hope to people who is needing it. The black and white hands represent that other nationalities can join hands to pledge to impart life.

The overall artwork is colorful because organ donation is not scary but it is a wonderful gift that can make other people's life more colorful than before.
