Title: Connections On Country

Story:

This artwork represents family, children, and community coming together. Support and connections are built. Pathways and journey lines connecting everyone gives a sense of togetherness, strength and growth.

The center represents the organisation and community. The big circle symbolises a mat, coming together, connections and strength. The journey lines come out from the circle and families and community come together from the outside. The dots represent country.
