Figure E12.28: Final Poster - CONNECT, Week 12 (12/12/2023)
Title: CONNECT
Artist Statement: As I mentioned before, my work is about harmony, making the audience feel connected to one another. The concept is to bring people together by encouraging empathy and understanding, bringing diverse people together in a moment of connection and respect, and reminding people of our common humanity. The word CONNECT, is about continuing to develop interactions, ideas, and understanding. It looks simple to understand, everything is connected such as humans, animals, culture, history and more. I hope that people will recognize the richness in our differences and recognise the greatness of our shared humanity. In my point of view, my poster is about more than just making art; it is about building bridges between people, cultures, and ideas.
