In my painting, I mainly symbolise the rainbow serpent. In the background, I created a rainbow gradient symbolising all the parts of nature. The symbol in the middle of my painting is a meeting place where everyone comes together to celebrate culture and new beginnings. The three dots on each person around the meeting place symbolise women having the same power as any other person. Writers Reflection I based my Reconciliation poem on the Erasure poem that my class started at school. My erasure poem was from a written text; to make it, I highlighted bits of text and blacked out the rest. I chose to make this as it really showed the past of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and how, through the years, life for them has become more equal.
