Theme: Gratitude in Action

Distinction, School Category, 2025

Artist statement:

A single hand rests in still water - the hand of a donor who gave life to others. In the reflection, four figures gaze back with gratitude: lives renewed, stories continued. Around them, gentle heart shapes ripple across the surface, symbolising the emotional and lasting impact of organ donation. This piece illustrates how one selfless act becomes a catalyst for hope, connection, and transformation - turning gratitude into a force that reaches far beyond one moment.
