Theme: Making a difference that endures across time

Merit, School Category, 2024

Artist statement:

This artwork displays a hand dropping hearts through an hourglass. One hand is giving hearts (representing organ donation) while the other set of hands is receiving them (organ transplant recipients). It is supposed to show how organ donation allows positive differences to be made. It allows love and bonds to endure across time. The drawing also shows little people advocating for and supporting people through organ donation. Furthermore, the hourglass also shows warmth being given to the recipient of the heart through having a warmer, darker base for the hourglass.
