This concept is based upon creative arts of children with Down’s syndrome. This syndrome is a genetic disorder which occurs in some species including humans as a result of an extra chromosome which causes delays in mental and physical development.
Emmett Kyoshi Wilson, a 15 years old mixed media artist from USA. he was born with Down’s Syndrome and for the being, he has created over 65 abstract pieces. I have chosen the art works of Emmett Kyoshi to co-operate with this concept and to convey a special message to the spectator through this unique collection of styles.
That is; to spread the message and to raise the awareness and understanding about people with Down’s Syndrome. Moreover, these differently abled people have been increasingly recognized for their creative talents also. Artistic expressions can have a massive effect in the lives of people with this condition. Many cases show how these individuals find joy, purpose and fulfillment through their creative works. Most people with Down’s syndrome have difficulties to express themselves through Talking and writing but, they are abled to express their feelings eloquently through activities such as sports, dancing or through painting. But, due to social standards and norms, they are disregarded from the society and that has made them feel lost and lonely by causing a negative impact on their lives.
Furthermore, the message here is to show the power of creativity of these individuals by presenting a colorful and an interesting collection with artworks and empowering quotes consisting with different manipulation ideas. Natural fibers will be the sustainable element for this collection.
