This series of artwork by Adrianne Walujo showcases women from different ethnic backgrounds, each representing their unique heritage in our contemporary western suburbs of Melbourne.
Using a limited colour palette to symbolise harmony and interconnectedness, the collection delves into themes of identity, heritage, and the evolving cultural landscape. Inspired by an Aboriginal belief in the sun as a source of life and hope, these pieces reflect a shared vision of warmth and unity as people of different backgrounds gaze towards the same goal.
Through this visual collection, Adrianne wishes to represent the various cultures that now call Australia home, inviting us to embrace the beauty of our collective diversity.
