My Year 12 Graduation Major Work for Visual Arts. This is only one of the three panels that I presented.
Exploring friendship and dependency through nature.
In the three panels, three stages of a high school friendship (and possibly all friendships) are explored. The first panel (not shown here) is set in a Wonderland-esque rainforest, portraying two friends emerging from the plantations in an Adam & Eve fashion. This marks the first stage of a friendship, outlining the fresh and sometimes surreal moment when you first learn about one another.
The second panel (also not shown here) depicts a yellowing tree as its central element with two girls in the center, also withering with it. Around them are scenarios of exams and other miscellaneous scenes plaguing them all around. As the pressure builds towards the end of senior year, that's when the strength of your friendship really gets tested. It is inevitable that your first real fight with a good friend will always leave a mark in your memories.
Which then leads us to this panel (the one above). The main theme in this panel is harmony. By going and growing through your first fight (and all the pressure and stress from leaving high school), you reach an understanding with your other half. You've been through both the good and the bad and in a way, this is how a true bond develops.
Nature is always resilient, like how a tree grows stronger after a bush fire. Like nature, friendship works in similar ways.

I think this piece is really beautiful. I'm curious as to how you used the material. Perhaps a little more detail about what you used each material on?
This is brilliant. Truly.
