Artist Statement:
For my animation, I created 4 separate shots to symbolize the 4 main elements of ISEA according to my interpretation. The crashing waves which symbolize water, are inspired by beaches in the Sunshine Coast. The double explosions represent fire and smoke, which are key themes in the culture of the First Nations people. The growing tree and flower is a Brisbane local; the Flame tree (Royal Poinciana) which symbolizes nature. Lastly, the swirling sand represents the earth, the Brisbane river inside the circle for the final shot. I chose those 4 themes since it aligned with the main themes of ISEA and themes that I could relate to on a regular basis.
