Concept statement
I interpreted the theme 'Sportswear derived from nature' as ideas copied from the natural world and implemented into our sporting world.
Where in the world would you go to and why?
Japan! Would be the first country on my hit li- I mean 'Visiting' list, most likely because that's THE country for anime and manga and that I actually know some of the language.
Favourite stuff?
I like... Drawing, in general, achieving goals or realising that I am getting better at something, writing stories! Talking about the stories and pictures I draw and write with other people, getting praised (I feel like a dog when I say this) and reading.
Three people you'd take to a desert island?
Ruby, Ian and Jack
What will you be doing in 10 years?
The options for what jobs I may do in the future vary and change every minute, day, week and so on, but currently, I am thinking of getting a job to do with biological science, art or writing.
Why should you win this competition?
Winning this competition would provide me with the chance to visit France or Japan (whichever one I pick in the end), for a long period of time to help me learn more of the culture and language , as I feel that, currently, in the classroom, one cannot truly learn a language.
