6 month residency with The Heart of Glass, developing ideas through working with young people in St Helens, focusing on their experiences, and progressing to a series of imagined visions of the future. The project explores hopes and fears of the young people for the future of the world with the best and worst possible narratives presented through a series of artworks and research. Using a post-industrial backdrop, materials and colours were inspired by the industries of St Helens.
Outcomes included: Public showcases, an exhibition and a live visual audio performance.

An interactive projection, which responds with engagement. The greater the number of people interacting with the work, the greater the transition from darkness to light. The Foundation reflects on how togetherness leads to positivity and strength.
