My artwork is inspired by this year’s Reconciliation Challenge theme, Feeding Connection, Learning from Country. I created an artwork that shows a person touching a rock, with Aboriginal symbols all over their arm. The background is light blue to represent the sky, and the black at the bottom represents the ground. I created this artwork to show what Feeding Connection, Learning from Country means to me. The person touching the rock is learning from the Country, and when they touch the rock, it is as if Australia is sharing knowledge about the Aboriginal symbols and their meanings.

Reconciliation means …
… to me strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Indigenous people.
