Afterpay Australian Fashion Week Official Artwork 2022

The piece celebrates creators and designers, and explores the stories that can be told through fashion.

The story of my artwork

The central camp (Circles) is to represent the event, the hills (arches) represent grounding, wisdom and strength, People(on the right - upside down u) travelling far and wide, gathering, above that I have people to represent Afterpay and the smaller dots sounding them are the small businesses that Afterpay support and water in the top right corner for its life-giving abilities. Next to this, there are wildflowers for their resilience as they can grow in extremely harsh climates and I think are very beautiful (one of my family's favourite flowers), the wiggles are for the different directions that the designers/artist take to create their pieces and the baskets, coolamons and digging sticks are there to resemble the tools and accessories of the event.

The artwork packaging comes with an explanation of the symbols used and the story it tells.
