This artwork shows an enjoyable experience I had while on my first trip overseas, where a friend and I were toasting with pina coladas and relaxing on beach chairs by the crystal-clear blue sky and inviting blue water. I used cute speech bubbles to bring the typical Fiji holiday scene to life. I incorporated my signature caricature-like style, exaggerating facial features to symbolise my friend's unique attributes, and using specific nose replacements to identify the individuals I am portraying.
