Parks have always been my spiritual sanctuary, providing gentle and effective healing whether in my hometown or London. The vibrant natural elements, intertwined with light and shadow, have breathed new life into me during my lowest moments. I am delighted to create and share something I love in Projection 2 and the Graduation Showcase.
I hope that Leaf It Behind conveys a sense of healing and warmth. If my work can help you leave your worries behind, even just for a moment, and inspire you to embrace a park or any green space and experience the healing power of nature, then it has achieved its purpose❤️
The only regret is that there isn’t enough time to print and produce the work. I envision Leaf It Behind as more than just a display piece, it is an invitation from the green parks, encouraging audience engagement and interaction. In the coming days, I will continue to refine my work. For the books and related products, I intend to use textured paper and materials that carry the scent of grass or other natural elements to enhance the sensory experience.
