COMBINE
Join, or force together 2 or more elements of your subject matter and consider ways that such a combination might move you towards a more elaborate meaning.
HOW TO?

TRIGGER QUESTIONS
Use these questions to help you create creative and interesting combinations! (Think about the symbolism you have drawn!)
What ideas or parts can be combined?
What can be combined to maximise the intended meaning?
What materials could be combined?
Examples on how to combine subject matters to add a different/ deeper meaning below
Holding Hand Heart:
Heart (symbolises the organ that can be donated) + Hand reaching out (symbolises the peers supporting one another or 2 suitable donor and patient willing to help the patient live on)
1) Making a difference starting with me invites participants to envision the diverse roles individuals can play in organ donation and transplantation. These roles extend far beyond the literal act of donating an organ. For instance, an individual can (i) take on the responsibility of advocating for organ donation within their social circle; and (ii) initiate ground-up efforts that engage the broader community, forming a strong and multi-faceted pillar of support for patients with organ failure.
Ticking heart:
Heart (symbolises the organ that can be donated) + Pocket watch (symbolises the time and frustration passing slowly while waiting for a suitable organ donation)
(2) Making a difference that endures across time invites participants to consider the short (several days/weeks), medium (several months) and long-term (several years) personal, familial and/or societal impact of organ donation.
