Madeline McGinness Our hidden tones

How do we persuade a nation to avoid the sun? Australia’s youth often spend hours on end outdoors on hot sunny days. Unfortunately, the harm of these beating rays is not yet recognised by young Australians. This portrait depicts my best friend and represents the hidden dangers of the sun through the use of colourful abstract shapes. I believe if these radiating obscure shapes appeared every time our delicate skin was damaged by the sun, young people would think twice about sun protection.
