Built on Strong Shoulders

This artwork celebrates Fifty Years of Deadly, honouring the strength, resilience, and cultural pride of First Nations communities. The arches at the base represent our ancestors - the pillars of strength who paved the way and whose shoulders we stand upon today.

Silhouetted figures represent the present - our leaders, change makers, and community members continuing the work for future generations. Three interconnected meeting places symbolise unity, connection, and communities coming together in culture and strength. These spaces speak to NAIDOC as a platform for gathering, truth-telling, and collective strength.

Elements of Country, including flowering gum, wattle, lemon myrtle, and tea tree, honour our deep spiritual connection to land and journeys of healing, while traditional people symbols woven throughout remind us of our role in guiding the next generation. Together, the work looks back with respect, stands strong in the present, and looks forward with pride - still deadly, always.


Specifications:

Each fine art canvas is machine stretched to give consistent tension across the artwork. The assembly is completed with framers tape and is strung ready to hang.

This canvas print is available in framed and unframed options. Framing options include oak, white grain or black grain. 

Please note: The original artwork was created in a 4:5 ratio. A-series size prints (A4, A3, etc.) will be carefully trimmed to fit standard paper sizes, which means some elements of the original design may be cropped. For a print truest to the original composition, we recommend selecting from the 4:5 ratio sizes.

All prints are made to order and custom framed on Dharawal Country.
