A poignant and deeply contemporary work, 'Connection' explores the triumph of youthful energy that inspires love and family across the miles. The central figure, connected to loved ones through the faint glow of a phone, becomes an icon for modern relationships and the ways we bridge the miles between us.

Story & Narrative Significance
This painting speaks to a universal Australian experience, where families are often spread across states and territories, relying on technology to maintain their most important bonds. The barely-visible mobile phone is a subtle but powerful symbol of this intimacy—a quiet testament to a love that distance cannot diminish. The work depicts a young woman connected with her family, culture and place. The artist was inspired to express the joyful moment of communication with a loved one so common to all of our lives in an age of telecommunications.
