The artwork "Settlement Heritage" delves into deep pain, leaving a void upon realising our shared history. It carries a profound responsibility to move forward and navigate the discomfort that fear places as a significant barrier to positive actions, steps, and relationships required for reconciliation. Despite government-mandated inclusion in the curriculum, there remains an intense fear of making mistakes, making it far easier to avoid addressing the issue altogether. The enormity of the challenge facing us envelops us with intimidation, emphasising the scale of the work that needs to be done. Stark realisations arise when confronted with the numbers: the disparities in employment, education, and health statistics that highlight systemic inequalities. It is a stark reminder of the urgency for change and the daunting task ahead.
