We Will Overcome

Description:

We will overcome!!

What does the post-pandemic life look like? I decided to construct a figure featuring health, happiness, and bravery. The figure is also celebrating with the music “Banging the drum!”, signalling life begins again.

To show health, I used vibrant organic forms such as vines, leaves, flowers and worms. I believe using organic plant/insect life shows we are all healthy and will live life to the fullest. I featured a lion head showing strength and bravery, and his mane is in the shape of a flower.

Soon our lives will change for the better. We will be stronger, healthier and happier. And we will stomp out the virus!!!

That’s what I wanted to portray in my unique art form.
