Naomi Gan, “Sparks” (School of the Arts, Singapore)
–Comments from the Selection Committee–
This piece is unique in addressing a challenge that young artists inevitably face—the doubt and struggle against pure creative desire—through the lens of poetic literary language while drawing inspiration from Van Gogh’s life and works.
Lovelia Yuriko Zahida, “Art as an Escape and Solace” (MAU Amanatul Ummah – Islamic Senior High School Surabaya, Indonesia)
–Comments from the Selection Committee–
This excellent essay captures the ignition point of artistic expression from the perspectives of different life domains. By contrasting their experiences of transferring to a Japanese elementary school and later returning to school life in Indonesia, the author discovers the brilliance of “illustration” as a form of self-expression beyond linguistic boundaries and shares the experience of gaining the vitality to live.
