The scenery in my artwork is a combination of multiple locations throughout Australia. The day represents Australia now and the starry night in the river represents the everlasting culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander peoples. Despite the attempt of being taken away all those years ago, the culture still managed to find its way of survival to this day, that’s how I find my artwork relates to reconciliation and the theme “Learning From Legacy, Healing Our Country”.
Reconciliation means…
To me, reconciliation means learning from past mistakes and moving forth together as equal human beings.
