Clara • 18 • Galway

Commendation

Using Christmas cards as a source of inspiration and focus, Clara made sense of the strange, disconnected world we live in now. Her unbroken connection to the outside world and people most important to her in life were reinforced with each postmans visit. Through her art, Clara’s memories and happy emotions of Christmas were given space to be expressed. She imagined the future and possibilities that await us. Her joy and satisfaction is testament to the hope she has for a better tomorrow.
