Merit, School Category, 2026

Artist statement:
Through this artwork, I want to remind people to appreciate the kindness around us and not to give up during difficult moments of our life. It displays love, peace and hope. The heart beats a new experience for the receiver, reconnecting the receiver to the world and appreciating life the second time. The hand giving the heart represents love, while the white dove symbolises peace and the flowers give hope. The lotus flower symbolises purity, strength and overcoming difficult times.
