Community Spirit Wawu

In a world full of constant change, the strength we share is the support we have for one another.

Protecting our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities is our number one priority. This artwork is broken up into different sections which shows the complexities and challenges COVID-19 brings into our daily lives.

Circles are the meaning of life that are continually constant. Each healing circle throughout are slightly different in shape and size as they continue to change and grow on our journeys together. They also symbolise key themes within our lives such as: family, power, strength, growth, protection and hope.

These circles also show meeting places, and travelling lines as good information is shared between our Hospital and Health service, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, organisations and communities.

The dots throughout the painting show the participation that makes up our health sector such as staff, parents, carers, volunteers, board members and support networks who are the driving force in working and representing the organisation.
