“THIS ARTWORK IS ABOUT SELF-COMMITMENT TO BLOOM AS INDIVIDUALS AND DEVELOP OUR POTENTIAL FROM ANY AGE. CHILDREN’S BUILDING BLOCKS, BOLTED BRICK BY BRICK, REPRESENT THE BUDS OF GROWTH. OUR FUTURE IS HELD IN OUR OWN HANDS – TO BLOSSOM AS WE PUT FLESH ON THE BONE AND BECOME BETTER. THIS WORK ALSO HIGHLIGHTS THE CONCEPT OF ‘BLOOD ON OUR HANDS’ IF WE CONTINUE TO DESTROY OUR ENVIRONMENT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.”
