Difference is our strength, Diversity is our beauty

Zillmere Rd & Bilsen Rd, Boondall QLD
At the heart of this work are two guiding truths: “Difference is our strength” and “Diversity is our beauty.” It is a celebration of our collective identity, where every unique feature, every lived experience, shines through the luminous reflection of rainbow colours. The imagery symbolises the intersectionality of generations, cultures, and life journeys. It is a visual declaration that our differences, including our disabilities, cultures, gender identities and other varied community experiences, are not to be seen as barriers but brilliant threads that weave together our shared stories. This artwork reflects the rich and diverse community that thrives in this area — a tapestry of identities and experiences that together form a vibrant, living whole. The desired outcome is to create a sense of belonging, where everyone feels seen, valued, and celebrated.
