Cancer Australia acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia. We pay our respects to Ancestors and Elders, past and present.

This artwork is based on looking at Country and Culture on a cellular level and how when we Listen to Country and when we look after Country, we in turn are Healed. We are all connected through Country, Culture, Community and one another.
