My overall idea for this piece was to try to incorporate how the pandemic has affected the entire world. Firstly, I had the scenes pouring out of a bleach bottle as bleach and cleaning products have been very important lately. The first bleach spill is of a skyline including the Leaning Tower of Pisa, theContinue reading “Stir Crazy Yet Still Hopeful”

Life After Lockdown Project
Young people: What do you make of life under lock down? What are your hopes and fears? What do you think the future will or should hold for us all?

I chose to do a still life inspired by a Vanitas style to portray transience of life using objects like a skull to symbolise death and syringesContinue reading “A Fragile Life”
