First Art Kit

I received the “first art kit’ box the 12th of January. The previous week I looked at some of the artworks made by other participating artists. By this means the content of first art kit was known to me. At the end of that week, it was a Sunday, I heard that the health of my 88 years old father was rapidly getting worse.
I drove to my father realizing that I was going to help him at the last stage of his life. I thought of the box but decided that it was inappropriate considering the circumstances, to bring in a red box, with the inscription first art kit in my fathers room. While doing some research on the website of first art kit I mostly remembered the following quote: “If providing art would be considered to be some kind of first aid, what would be my role as an artist then?” I decided not to use any material content of this box but to let myself be inspired by the title of this project. I know these days would be the last aid of my fathers last days, my role as a daughter and an artist is to see beauty and to be grateful of these moments.
