Artwork Statement:
 "Dynamics of Dialogue" speaks to the importance of dialogue in building a peaceful and harmonious world. It's form, intertwined and kinetic reminds us that we are all interconnected and that our words and actions have a ripple effect.

This collaborative sculpture emerged from the vibrant voices of our community, where every age group contributed.
As our youngest community members from the Yilli Gathering Play Session painted the cardboard shapes we talked about what the symbols might represent: love, peace, stop, together.
 The Primary school aged children from the Junior Activity Club experimented with adding words and their own symbols. 

With the thoughtful contributions of adults—this artwork mirrors a diverse community united by a shared vision. This is a community collaboration, involving staff members, carers, educators, and  children of all ages.
Our collective aim is clear: to convey 'dialogue as a guarantee of peace' through this harmonious and community-driven art piece.

Community Collaboration:
This is a collaborative effort involving staff members, carers, educators, and children of all ages, showcasing the strength of our collective voice. Thank you for all your creative input, and congratulations Kentish!
