Of the exam topics that were given, I was initially interested in exploring Events – Time and Place and researching into the development of terrorism through time. However, after looking into different things that I could do for each of the subjects, I felt that exploring Word and Image and the contrast between sexism and feminism could be well researched and would give me more scope and a variety of ideas for my final piece.

I drew a male and female hand clasping each other with wedding rings on, on top of wedding invitations. Although the image is quite soft and
