Finalists in Hypervision Art competition 

Congratulations to Yekta Alijan, Andie Minerva and Alex Noun (Year 11), who have been nominated as finalists in the Hypervision Art Competition. 

Now in its 18th year, Hypervision is a proud initiative of the City of Swan and part of the youth-driven Hyper Series, which empowers young people to shape and celebrate arts and culture in their community. Each year, young creatives from across Western Australia are invited to produce original works based on a theme developed by the City of Swan’s Hyper team. The 2025 theme, Reflect, invites artists aged 12 to 25 to explore memory, identity, and perspective through their chosen art form. Submissions are welcome in a variety of mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, fashion, film, jewellery, and experimental works.

Yekta, Andie and Alex created ceramic cubes which showcase personal and significant memories from their lives. Using the Sgraffito technique students have carved back into painted clay to create high contrast designs that showcase a memory in a symbolic way making it deeply personal to the individual while also leaving it open to viewer interpretation.

In this piece objects become echoes of experience. They resonate with the weight of memory. The arrangement of my artwork is not literally but rather a representation of the emotional landscape shaped by these significant items. Each artifact whispers a story of remembrance. (Reflection by Alex Noun)

I have created a ceramic cube showing the resurfacing of old memories and feelings I have had throughout my life. Reflections of synaesthesia that seep through and into my spine. I aimed to feel the emotional vibrations and nostalgic feelings that represent and reflect these feeling I have. Transferring them into tangible imagery open to interpretation by an audience. (Reflection by Andie Minerva)

My artwork tells a story, reflecting on the significant moments and memories created through our lives. It expresses how we hold our truth close to our hearts and often don't put our whole selves, especially our hard times, out on show for others to see. Social media is a perfect example where everyone is wearing the mask of a butterfly only to hide the truths of the pain and torment they go through on a daily basis. All comparing their butterfly’s while not realising the hardships our journeys have endured along the way. (Reflection by Yekta Alijan)
