Strength and Courage by Lindon Dargin

Here is some further information about the artwork and its storytelling.

The artist Lindon Dargin is a Yorta Yorta man originally from Cummeragunja. The artwork shows a circle of people representing the community and the appropriate organisations coming together to help the individual out of the darkness into the light with the assistance of many hands.

The connected dots represent the network of support services that are needed and also represents spreading the message of hope that there is help out there. The two Cockatoo feathers (Darkinjung Custom) are symbols of strength and courage.

The bright colours represent life, joy and happiness.

Thank you Lindon for creating this artwork for Suicide Prevention Australia.
