ASHA CHALLENGE To abstract hope into a representation for ASHA CONCEPT Simply flower, grounded-feet, and wing-like leaves. CONTEXT I was having a conversation with a friend of mine named Walter Ferix, who went on a trip to India to support the ASHA organization there. I decided to do my small part in providing support (please note: I differentiate support from charity). Since its support is for children, it makes natural sense to me to portray it like children. If it is drawn by a child, i think it will look something like that. Now comes the representation part whereby each petal represents the support chapters from various continents around the world flanking to produce the sweet nectar in the central chapters in India. With Singapore as the latest inclusion, it counts at 8 and will probably grow in time to come. The foot is about giving support to the children to be independent rather than to be dependent from the assistance received. Finally, the wing-like leaves will soar towards to achieve the objective mission statement when they are ready. The entire picture is actually framed by shades of black to represent hours of darkness with the flower emitting light. Finally, i like to chip in my own poetry style to express... “The dawning of hope
begins at the hour of dusk.” Quoted
by Ang Chong Lai. |
