DESCRIPTION: 【A Day Longed For】This artwork is of a line of the more vulnerable people in society being given the Covid vaccine. First in line is an elderly lady being injected the vaccine by a doctor. The vaccine is blue to symbolize purity and safety. A girl in a wheelchair awaits her turn in the queue, dreaming of the near future where things return to normal: close ones can gather in crowds to enjoy one another’s company, watch a play, run riot in the gardens. Some of the people in the queue are in crutches, symbolizing their fragility but others appear normal, as it is not always obvious who the vulnerable ones are.

The art is done on mixed media: colour pencils, water colour and marker pens. The bright colours depict optimism and hope for the Day Longed For.
SELECTION AGENCY: Raffles Girls Primary School
