Artist statement...
This artwork shows how Australia is coming together, just like a jigsaw puzzle. Each bright shape is a special piece, representing different people, cultures, and stories that are all important. When we connect these pieces, we make a picture of healing and working together. Inspired by the strength and history of Australia’s First Nations people, this artwork reminds us that everyone has a part in helping our country heal by understanding and respecting one another. Just like in a puzzle, every piece matters!
Reconciliation means...
Reconciliation means building relationships between all Australians, especially First Nations people, to heal past wrongs and work together for a better future.
