In “Caring for Country”, Alex Kerr, a proud Wurundjeri man, pays tribute to the landscape of his country, incorporating key elements such as meeting places, rivers, waterways, and animals.
The artwork features a goanna, an animal that holds great cultural significance for the Wurundjeri people, as well as the footprints of the emu and kangaroo. The use of the “U” symbol around the waterways and meeting places highlights the deep connection between the Wurundjeri people and the land.
