A digital illustration made of simple block shapes overlaid to resemble a bee. The wings are constructed by 2 pale blue ovals, the body a black speech bubble, and the yellow stripes are made from two rectangles. Its head is a beige pie shape with a quarter chunk missing, making it look like the bee's about to take a big bite. The Bee has a human like eye with a white iris and round black pupil.

A series of photographs introducing Pippin the pigeon. Pippin is a small doll, made out of clay and fabric. Pippin’s wearing a checkered green shirt, blue jeans and a postman’s hat, along with a big letter satchel. Lots of different pictures of Pippin are shown – most often, Pippin is waving cheerfully, or sat cross-legged on a kerb. Some images show Pippin indoors, sat on a small painted model of a green VW Beetle. The final two photos show the process of making Pippin – where Pippin doesn’t have a face, or any clothes!

Two Pages of a comic. There are three characters: a man called Shogo, a girl called Kristina, and a mouse called Shingo. Page 1 A black and white manga comic strip, made up of eight panels. Speech bubbles coming from a big truck with flames on it say “where are we going?” And “we’re almost there”. The next panel reveals Shogo and Kristina in the car, and a small mouse named Shingo. Shogo says “we’re going to the old storage yard to pick up some goods”. They then arrive at the storage yard, which is a garage amidst the woods. “Okay, here we are”, says Shogo, “I haven’t been here in a long time”. As everyone gets out of the car, Kristina asks “what’s in there?”. They enter the garage. Shingo is sat on the Kristina’s head. Shogo says “let’s find some parts and head down to the RC arena”. Kristina says “this is gonna be fun” and Shingo says “oh yeah”. Then, Kristina looks into a storage container and thinks “huh, what’s this?”, then says “Is that a HPI jumpshot ST flux?” as she looks down into a small racing car with big wheels. Shingo says “wow!”. Shogo picks up the car and says “it sure is. We’re gonna take this down to the arena for a run.”

3 photographs overlaid onto a pastel purple background. The first image is of two people’s faces laid on top of each other, both looking directly at the camera. The second image is of a person smiling against a background of soft pink flowers. The final image is of a person working indoors in a creative studio space, looking away from the camera and focussing on their work. Text on the page begins with a question - do you think you are a curious person? Each answer is written next to a photograph. The first answer, from Sarah, says “Yes, I am definitely a curious person. I have a noisy brain. Being curious allows you to float freely through the world. I have been told that I have a real zest for life, and I think this stems from my innate curiosity." The next answer, from Sofia, says "I believe I am a very curious person, most times when I meet people especially for the first time it can be hard for me to keep my mouth shut for all the questions that blow up in my mind. I'm very curious when it comes to interacting with other people and getting to know them." The final answer, from Josh, says "Yes, somewhat. I don't like not understanding things so I have to be curious."

a drawn Manga-style cartoon showing three people all stood together, in front of an extravagant set of stained glass windows. Each person is dressed in blue, and has blue hair. Two of the three people seem older, and are stood either side of the younger person. All three of them are wearing intricate, royal-looking clothing, complete with capes, gloves and lace. They have jewels on their clothes and in their hair. The younger person has one pink eye and one blue eye, and looks excited. The older people each have one blue eye and one green eye, and they look slightly nervous.

Three sculptures of different shapes and sizes. Each sculpture is made from dozens of rounded layers, all stacked on top of each other, and appear very tactile.

A digital illustration of a bendy keyboard, which horizontally extends across the image. It’s overlaid onto a green and blue gradient background. Above the keyboard are several overlapping purple circles, with smaller purple circles within them. Underneath the piano are several blue shiny circles, and a looping ’S’ shape, comprised of different tones of blue and purple.

A digital drawing titled ‘leaf maze’. Lots of different leaves sprawl across the image, all of them drawn in a similar style but visibly different from each other - no two leaves are the same. Each leaf is connected to a branch, and each of the branches connect to create a network of leaves. Some of the leaves are drawn in black or grey, while others are colourful - green, orange, blue, pink, and purple. Most of the leaves are just drawn as outlines, but some are filled in, either with a smudge of grey, or grey circles, or grey dots. The artwork is signed “Dami 2024” at the bottom.
