Theme: More than Me - Beyond this Life

Distinction, School Category, 2019

Artist statement:

The picture shows a girl who had her life saved due to an organ donor and she is currently recovering. The action of donating an organ is like passing on the baton. The organ is ''passed on to'' another person so that they can continue ''running the race'' until they reach the finishing line. The left hand is greyed to show that it has been weakened. The baton is portrayed as a battery, decreasing on the donor's side but increasing on the recipient's side to show that life is stronger on the recipient's side now that they have received the new organ. They are now able to run the race that the donor might not be able to.
