Our school’s entry comprises of the words from this year's theme Life Does Not Rewind. The graffiti wall depicts a windmill scattered with capsules and pills. The windmill turns only in one direction and does not turn backwards.
This tells us that often mistakes result in consequences which are irreversible and we have to move forward in life. Graffiti, as a form of public art, is employed to communicate social messages, consequences and implications in life. It is vibrant and colourful, to effectively bring across the anti-drug message to our youths.
