Theme: A new beginning

Merit, School Category, 2020

Artist statement:

I drew the hands of the donor in grey, passing the heart to the hands of the recipient in beige to show splendor in living after receiving the new organ. The Gladioli symbolise hope, while the leaves bring calmness. I used the colours, tuscany yellow and spring green on the left, to show positivity and sense of renewal, while azure blue on the right to show sincerity from the family members of the donor. The Gladioli are drawn in a heart and an explosive formation to show that the donor can change and impact others' lives, and his or her heart can live on.
