mUSic is a vibrant tribute to the journey and growth of every child and young adult involved in PEN’s art programs. This piece invites viewers to experience the clean, polished result of their dedication and hard work, represented by its bright green facade. Yet, it also offers a peek behind the scenes through a hole in the green, revealing a bustling backdrop of reflective CDs and swirling music notes—symbolising the energy and creativity each participant pours into their craft. At the forefront stands a wooden child with a jembe drum, embodying the individuality within this collective effort. While the activities thrive on collaboration, each child is celebrated for their unique talents, making this artwork a reflection of both community and individuality.
