Theme: Our Transformative Journey

Merit, School Category, 2023

Artist statement:

This artwork is about cornea transplant and how the patient is freed from his distorted or blurry vision and the world he sees is now filled with whimsical creatures as his imagination comes to life, all because of one generous soul who had contributed to his cornea transplant. However, there are still thousands alike in the world who can only wish to see the little things of what we take for granted everyday, so we must help them in any way we can, even if it means sacrificing our gift of vision.
