This picture depicts a person in drug and alcohol recovery who also has a broken leg. The picture is designed to show how we find it easier to relate to a physical illness than an addiction. Like the sitter, the dog too sits in the shadows of the addiction. The dog is turned away from the sitter to suggest a sense of uneasiness. The sitter, aware of their ambiguous social position, faces the viewer full on, with an open posture and resigned smile despite the surrounding darkness.
Acknowledgment of traditional owners.
We would like to pay our respects to the traditional owners of the land on which our building stands, their leaders, past, present and emerging.
