Theme: A Connected Gratitude

High Distinction, Open Category, 2025

Artist statement:

This piece is about the powerful chain reaction that starts with one selfless act of organ donation. The golden string represents the donor’s gift, a thread of gratitude that gets passed from one person to another, spreading joy, hope, and connection. The hearts symbolise both love and the organ itself, reminding us of the life being carried forward. The large, abstract heart in the background overflows with emotion and energy, showing how one act of generosity can touch countless lives. Each character in the piece is connected, holding or receiving that gift, highlighting how deeply one donation can ripple through a community. It’s a celebration of life, kindness, and the invisible ties that bind us through compassion and selflessness.
