Traditional

Theme: Your Thoughts on Organ Donation

Merit, School Category, 2018

Artist statement:

My artwork depicts seven emojis surrounding the 'angel' emoji, representing the seven organs you can donate and the seven people you can save and bring light to. My tagline is 'leave a legacy of life' which reflects how when you save someone's life, they will carry on your legacy for you as you save them. The text and emojis are bright, contrasting to the black background, showing how organ donation can give life and hope to people. The closer the emoji, the happier it seems to be, showing how they are moving on at different paces, becoming happier day by day.
