Artist statement:

This artwork represents my organs, which I showcased as an island where people visit to donate their organs. The houses on the organs symbolise hospital rooms and people are resting, waiting patiently for their surgery to be completed. Organ failures do not discriminate and know no borders. The generous decision of donating one’s organs has the potential to save many lives. My work depicts a treasure map where organs are valuable and the act of donating an organ is noble.
