Forrest Beach Surf Life Saving Club lifesavers Darius and Chris have become a part of a vital and historical moment in surf life saving.
On Wednesday 15 January Surf Life Saving Queensland received artwork from Darius and Chris.
Surf Life Saving Queensland posted on Facebook about the moment.
“Yesterday [Wednesday 15 January], we had the privilege of receiving the incredible artwork from talented First Nations artists Christopher Ketchup and Darius Lewin-Pearson,” the post said.
“Every symbol in this piece is a tribute to the rich traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
“Christopher Ketchup and Darius Lewin-Pearson, from St Teresa’s College Abergowrie, bring Queensland’s First Nations artistry to life, sharing their deep connection to land and water.
“Their work carries forward generations of storytelling and visually represents SLSQ’s commitment to protecting Queensland’s coasts and honouring the custodianship of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples over these lands and waters.”
The artwork is set to be digitalised and will feature in various Surf Life Saving Queensland platforms, hoping to inspire a sense of belonging across the organisation and the communities they serve.
