This work explores the dichotomy between you and I… Many would see a meeting place, a gathering of people, yarning and telling each other stories around a campfire Everyday people walk out into the world hiding their true selves from others… I have created a meeting place where all are welcome. The symbols represent a man (top), a woman (bottom) and two non-binary people (left and right). We often don’t know what people are going through… The paths represent the diverse array of cultures we encounter in our daily lives, in our families. These paths represent the limbs of a human being – highlighting that amongst it all, within our hearts we are all connected as one. Be kind to one another and simply ask, R U Ok? Oliver Pike Wailwan, Ngemba and Wiradjuri man
