When I think of what freedom means to me and in the context of Birmingham as a city, it immediately conjures up feelings of limitless potential in a city packed full of free spirits and creators.

I hope this piece of artwork expresses the thriving, vibrant, creative community that Birmingham holds close and how proud I am to be a part of this city.
