"The focal point of my picture in the photo pile collage. Surrounding the collage of photographs are song lyrics.
The photographs in the picture pile collage are depicting the actions of flying, jumping and just fun in general.
The song lyrics are written in different bright colours to reflect the positive, happy nature of their content.
The whole picture is youth friendly because it shows the positive content and influence of music, the great emotion from happiness and the fun of hanging with friends.
The overall theme of the picture is happiness, reaching for your dreams and rising to your full potential.
This picture represents Manukau and being a teen in Manukau because it does not underestimate what young people are capable of and what they can do.
This picture shows the joy and excitement of friendship and happiness."
