STORY - Guwunggan

Guwunggan

This artwork is a representation of the recent floods and the effect it had on communities. The way Mother Nature responded to her treatment and her message to our people to listen.

There is a community at the top of the work, stranded, with only one way in and out. The water runs high and deep through the artwork, with symbols of further rain and flooding throughout the depth of the flow. Links of other communities sit within the waterline, showing their support for the people affected, and providing a lifeline to many who experienced the flooding. Above, those in the stars look down, reminding us to care for Mother Nature and listen when she speaks. This piece is part of the 'Dabaa-Malang' art release.
