"The concept behind my collage is a teen’s life meeting the beauty of nature in Manukau. There’s photos of McDonalds in bushes, sunglasses on the beach & jandals in towels in nature contrasted with the natural beauty of Manukau. It’s meant to serve as a message to the youth of Manukau about how life & nature do mix & how they should get out there & smell the roses, feel the sand & be with nature more often, because its everywhere in Manukau."
