LEEHAN 'HEART' by Merindah-Gunya

'This artwork symbolises my connection to my Aboriginal culture, reflecting two pivotal moments in my life that deepened this bond. The first occurred at the age of 9 when I was confronted with racism, and the second during my high school years. Despite the pain associated with these experiences, I consistently harboured an immense sense of pride in my uniqueness. I was always told stories of my nan’s resilience during her upbringing, and enduring such challenges myself, only brought me closer to her. My connection with my nan is deeply spiritual, an affection that is hard to put into words.

This piece portrays a representation of my nan and I, emphasizing our 'hearts' and spirits that forever bind us.'
