The conceptual illustration submitted should consist of (a) a written insight and (b) a visual, conceptual representation that plays off the insight to engage the audience.

Rational

The idiom I chose to interpret - the most beautiful Fig May contain a worm. Is an African proverb that means every positive thing has a negative side to it. This inspired me to look for meaning through literature. I realised that, the knowledge people gain from books, comes at the cost of nature. Therefore in my illustration, I aimed at depicting the cruelty of the price knowledge. That is why my composition depicts an individual reading in a tent, outside a deforested environment.
