Artist statement:

This artwork promotes organ donation and the power of helping others. A cube with eyes, symbolising a person in need, is reached out to by a supportive hand, representing the kindness of donors. At the centre, a tree grows strong, with a child at the top helping another climb up, signifying the impact of organ donation on recipients' lives. A girl holding a balloon-shaped heart at the top of the tree embodies the love and hope that comes with this selfless act. Meanwhile, a child wearing VR goggles at the bottom right observes the entire scene, highlighting the potential for technology to connect us and raise awareness about organ donation. This artwork encourages us to reach out and support those in need, helping them reach new heights.
