Celebrating Jonathan

My collection is a tribute and an idealised recreation of the life of my Jonathan, my uncle, who we sadly lost at 19 years of age. I had this thought that when one passes you never age, and before he did, he was accepted to swim In the Commonwealth games, so this collection is a recreation of that never told story, from what he would have worn on the journey, what he would have taken with him and who he would have been had he lived as a 19 year old in in 2022. Design elements: Swimming memorabilia, Badges, Jonathan's clothes, Pressed flowers, RNLI, Butterflies, Wool fabrication, Leather applique.
