Artist statement:

The girl in the art piece has passed away due to some unfortunate events. She died peacefully, knowing that her organs would be donated to other people who need it. As seen in the photographs surrounding her, her organs saved the lives of a few people. After recovering, these people went on to do the things they were not able to when they were hospitalised or sick. The boy in the photograph got a gold in a sports competition. The girl on the top left created art that inspired others. The girl on the bottom right pursued her interest in taekwondo. They were thankful to the girl who gave them a second chance in life, hence, the photographs have the words 'thank you' written on them, around her.
