My artwork is about healing our country, I made my artwork with bottle lids and plasitc. There are scuba divers collecting plastic bags taking them out of the way of a turtle made with bottle lids and bread tags that I have recycled helping heal our land. This turtle is representing that we all should all help our country it has done so much for us and all we do is litter not caring about all the beautiful features around us.
Reconciliation means…
I’d say that it means recognising Aboriginal people, culture and history and acknowledging how far they’ve come after everything they have gone through. It’s about saying sorry and treating them equally. It’s about bringing Australia closer and continuing to help the indigenous people move forward.
