This artwork represents the Solen Generation of kids who were taken away from their families and their homes by the government. The storm is representative of the wave of evil that ripped through the community, destroying families and culture. It represents the workers at the boys home that would use their authority and rule over the boys, leading to an aftermath of endless physical and mental issues.
The eyes in the centre of the storm are there to see the emotional hurt, grief and physical pain of the affected boys.
This artwork features in the “Unlocking Our Past to Free Our Future” exhibition, running from 17th October to 15th November 2024.
Artworks will be available for collection or shipping from Monday 18th November, 2024.
