This is a story about connecting to community and Country, and how we are all connected. No matter where we're going or where we have been, we are all connected.

This is my journey to connect to my children. Now they have given me a second chance of life, where we now have the love and the bonding. It's given us that journey to connect to our Country. It will keep the bond stronger with the father's love, with the love of his children.

'Court' in a Trap
By C.Stewart
Wiradjuri
2023
'Court' in a Trap focuses on our justice system and how they can take something peaceful and criminalise it. The net represents our justice system that is always out to 'catch' something. The jellyfish represents any man going through life, transparent, beautiful, until the justice system finds him in their net. Similar to a jellyfish in a fishing net, the fisherman (the justice system) only focuses on the 'potential' danger and harm the jellyfish is capable of, completely ignoring the fact the jellyfish was just surviving, day by day, wave after wave.
