Theme: Bridge of Hope

High Distinction, Open Category, 2021

Artist statement:

A simple gesture of offering your hand can give someone a huge comfort. At times, the schematics of offering comfort is not so obvious. The hand symbolic of reaching for help. The simplistic use of lines can create variations of patterns and in turn creates a net-like structure that entangles those within it. It gives places to hide, to seek, to weep, to console, to dare, to dream and to live. Each of those individuals are silhouetted and have their own stories to tell. Whatever may come, rest assured that they will have a safe landing within this wireframe.
