This art piece includes images of landform and Australian vegetation amalgamated into a fanfare of tribulation for our environment. We are living in uncertain times but as Benjamin Franklin once said “out of adversity comes opportunity”! That is the inspiration for this artwork. Adversity creates opportunities, and opportunities create destinies.
