Artwork
A communal 3 D canvas depicting personal growth and self-care using the symbology of flowers, seeds and the environment was created for this project.
Participants painted and constructed their own flowers which were attached onto the prepared canvas. Whilst creating their flowers they were asked to consider their own self – care and wellbeing. With this in mind participants wrote a personal affirmation on the back of their flowers for future consideration.
