For my exhibition I chose free-diving because I wanted to work on my mindfulness and resilience. I am not very mindful and I can sometimes not care about others perspectives and just do what I need. During this exhibition I have learnt to be more mindful as I have been able to shut down my mind when I have been stressed before my attempt.

For my artistic representation I have chosen an image of me doing a free diving attempt. I chose to do this because I thought it would be good to merge real life and art to create my artistic piece. I chose to draw my image from my perspective as I think it would give people a perspective about my exhibition. I chose to draw myself, not at my goal, but almost there.

Exhibition for me has been a challenge because I have had to pick myself up when I was down and make sure each attempt counted. There was also an element of risk so I had to also be very focused on safety. This exhibition has shown me how to prioritise my tasks to get job done. This has been an exciting five weeks because I have spoken to interesting people, pushed my physical limits and put in practise to see it pay off.

For my Exhibition, I decided to do endurance, because it's a skill that involves so much!. To be able to use endurance means you have to work on your perseverance skills, your mindfulness skills and your self-motivation skills.

Endurance doesn't just involve your physical capacity it's mainly based on your mental capacity. The whole reason that I chose this exhibition topic is that I have a pretty closed mindset when it comes to things I don’t like. Let it be maths, running, riddles, bad jokes, swimming - yea I’m pretty sure you get the idea. Now my symbolic piece may not make sense at first glance. But I promise you all will become clear. The cars represent 2 people. Me before {the red car} and me now {the green car} what it's meant to mean is that before when it came to doing challenging tasks at the moment an opportunity struck I- well I didn’t. This is why the red car is waiting for next time and why the green car is moving forward is the opposite. It is moving forward because it had the chance to! And that’s where {I hope} I am now.

The whole reason that endurance is an important skill is mainly because of how it can be used in whatever job you have or want. If you want to be a lawyer you have to have the endurance to help your person, no matter if you're a prosecution attorney or a defence attorney. If you want to be an actor you have to be able to not give up if you don’t get the main role and you're just a background character. So endurance is pretty much the best life skill out there.

For exhibition I chose to get better at public speaking. I wanted to not afraid talk to a lots of people, and my english will be good. But when I try, I was actually feel good, even it’s difficult to me. These photos were taken during my public speaking.

At the beginning, I was very nervous and did not have enough preparation. But then I gradually became less nervous.

Hello, my name is James W. I am going to tell you all about my exhibition. My exhibition is about my focus and meditation.

The challenging part of my exhibition is finding an idea and getting stuff done with friends. I wanted to find a vehicle that is really hard to do. I had a few options I had cooking, fitness, teaching, reading and meditation. I researched “what is the most interesting thing to do?”. I saw that meditation was the hardest to do when due to the level of distractions in the world and the most interesting, therefore I chose it. I have learned that there's many more techniques to relax your body in meditation. They were not the easiest way to relax but after you feel like Kerry Gold butter :). I really recommend meditation if you really get stressed.

My artistic piece is an image of me when I feel like I am at a crossroads, unfocused and I need to make a choice. I then to try to flip things around, like the flip of a coin and change my mindset to focus. Do I make a good choice or a bad choice? The first image is me not focusing and messing around. In the middle of the photo there is me getting flicked up into the air working on focus. Then at the end there is me focusing on the techniques of meditation, the poses and not getting distracted by my friends or my family.
