She'll Be Apples

By

Angela

Coloured Pencil on Paper, 2024

This image depicts the wild woman and the apple tree. It is inspired by the character 'Aofie' in this year's production.

During development, we had discussions about what the apple represented. To trust or not to trust, to bite or not to bite. For me the apple merely represents choice. You can drift along or you can bite the apple and choose for yourself. And that is powerful.

Self Reflection

By Sofia

Often I try to self-reflect which turns into waves of rings around me. This picture reflects my days in general; life is static, surrounded by waves around.

Beyond the Steel Mesh

By Anonymous

The cage stands bold, with its steel-clad mesh. For within its grip, it’s us it holds. Ten foot walls, of cold creme concrete. For outside we muster, like horses in stalls.
