Theme: My Organ, My Companion

Merit, School Category, 2023

Artist statement:

A patient of organ failure gazes out of the window, and its reflection overflows with the wondrous fantasy of herself, albeit free from the confines of her hospital bed, adventuring out into the vast sea. Yet, she is not alone on this adventure as friendly sea creatures are likened to new organs, providing support for her whilst leading her out to explore the world.
