Artwork description
Shoreward is a tribute to the invisible and often overlooked gifts we all carry with us, drawn into the visual and physical realms. It is dedicated to the concept that inclusion is not a branch of conformity. It’s about embracing and celebrating our differences as an offering to our society as a whole.
