Cat A, First Place: “Roots of Passion: Kirtida Mekani’s Green Legacy” by Oh Yun Dong Emelia
My artwork shows Kirtida’s love and care for nature. It highlights her nurturing hands, symbolizing how she helps plants grow and inspires others to care for the environment. The colorful flowers and greenery represent her efforts to make Singapore greener. The children in the picture show her dedication to teaching young people about nature, so they can help protect it in the future. The mix of greenery and buildings in the background reflects her dream of a city where nature and urban life exist in harmony. Kirtida inspires me to make meaningful contributions and stay committed to my passions. I admire her compassion, which I expressed through vibrant colors and patterns to reflect her energy and celebrate her many contributions. Thank you, Kirtida, for the beautifully-landscaped Singapore we live in today and for showing me how one person’s vision can create lasting change.
