About the artwork
This artwork centres around a large meeting place that represents Yoorana Gunya. Surrounding it are many people, symbolising both staff and those who access Yoorana Gunya’s services.
The major meeting place mirrors the same location as an artwork created for Binaal Billa, visually connecting the two services.
Flowing water, essential for both health and wellbeing runs through and around the meeting place. A larger central figure stands proudly nearby, representing leadership and the strategic and community direction that guides Yoorana Gunya forward.
Across the artwork, lines mimic the movement of rivers and creeks. People are shown gathering around various meeting places reflecting Yoorana Gunya’s community outreach and programs.
The work is surrounded with symbols of Country. Rocks, sand, patterns, artefacts and figures travelling between places.
