Theme: Everyday Things

Merit, School Category, 2022

Artist statement:

The things pieced together into a heart represents what we see every day. Just simple and casual habits and memories seem to give a tiny joy that lasts and lives only at the back of our minds. And we believe that this tiny but powerful joy should be given to everyone. We believe that we should give everyone a heart to continue or even begin to experience and to live with the simple happiness of everyday things that we only realise how much it means to us when we don't have it anymore. For the only purpose of life is to live it, and live it the most fulfilling way so that we won't regret it when our time is up. So when we donate a heart to someone, we are letting them live the most fulfilling life the rest of the time.
