About the print:

I was given a circle as a starting point so I decided to work with a veiny eyeball — a symbol of looming deadlines, countless cups of coffee, and the relentless passion that drives so many creatives to pour themselves into their craft, often burning the midnight oil.

From all that hard work and devotion, incredible things can grow — hence, the plants. (The veins, like roots, take hold and flourish.)
There are 10 plants to mark the significance of the APBC anniversary.
I chose metallic paper as a nod to the tradition of 10 years being symbolized by tin or aluminum.
The blind embossing adds another layer of meaning: sometimes the image is crisp and clear, other times it fades into the background, representing how the immense effort creatives put in often goes unseen, as do the sacrifices they make behind the scenes for their passion.
