The Story Behind the Artwork
2022 Aboriginal Artwork Design Story
Artist: Acacia Collard, Balladong Noongar, Badimia Yamatji
This design represents the journey of the deceased person – like a river sitting below the surface, the water travels towards its destination. Depicted in the design is the Coroner and the important role they play for the deceased person and their family. Each circular shape represents the delicate pieces that need to be put together in order to reach the Court's outcomes.
Along the riverbank - like a drop of water, the ripples flow outwards and touch the others. This symbolises the effects the person has had on others throughout their lives - being comforted by the many people in their life.
