Her Hopes, Our Future. 2013
Acrylic on canvas 91 x 61 cmHer Hopes, Our Future represents my own reflections on Sri Lankan refugees.
So frightened of staying, that her family spends their life savings for an illegal and uncertain journey to Australia in unseaworthy craft which may have tragic consequences. With nothing except hope and courage for the future, Australia would benefit by setting up an emergency quota for Sri Lankans seeking asylum, to help build Australia’s future, this rich and empty land.
