I chose to take the topic of under the surface figuratively and researched the topic on abuse. For my End of Year project, I have made an origami bird which I put inside of a birdcage that I made. I also created a painting of outdoor scenery and gave the painting a window frame. The idea behind my piece is that the bird is trapped in abuse and looking out of the cage and out through the window to see a world without abuse and hoping to fly free into that world. I have put words on both the cage and the window painting to show the birds thoughts of how they feel in the cage and how they hope to feel once they fly free.
