Ganbatte

As part of an Easter project for uni, we were given two words at random and told to create a poster with them.

My words were "wasteland" and "lamp".

After recently participating in a Kimono show to raise money for the Japanese Red Cross I was inspired to create an image to create some kind of hope.

"catching the light"

"On 11th of March, the biggest earthquake on record to hit Japan caused widespread destruction across the country. A 10 metre (33ft) high tsunami, triggered by the tremor, swept inland in many places swamping everything in its path." - BBC

Ganbatte- A Japanese word meaning "good luck" and try your best. To persevere and know people are behind you and supporting you.

Medical Exhibition - In Memory

May we be born,

May we flourish,

May we wither,

May we die.

This is my final piece of work from a recent class exhibiton. The theme was medical. Not being able to handle blood and gore, I decided to concentrate on medical history throughout the years and focus and celebrate on the leaps and bounds that it has made.

Although we have developed many types of medicines and cures, there are still many things that we have still to discover. I wanted my piece to relate to hospitals. A place where many of us are born, come to get better and sadly, eventually pass away.

I created a "memorial plaque" and through the silent message of flowers, created "get well" cards to convey my message.

Congratulations

Get well soon

Thank you

Forget me not

Rainy days..

Piove in the big city..
