My intention with this mixed medium art piece is to depict what reflective practice has been like for me, at first as a provisional psychologist and student in the Applied Psychology (Community) Masters at Victoria University, and now a psychologist and university educator.
This journey has helped me to understand the significance of lived experience and intersectionality.
Growing up in the ‘80s, and of the inner suburbs of Naarm (Melbourne) on
Wurundjeri and Bunurong/Boonwurrung Country, it took decades for me to understand we
live in a system of systems.
I acknowledge my privilege, and that I continue to benefit from the structures built through colonisation that still oppress First Nations Peoples. This is a dark mark I cannot erase, and I cannot unsee.
I am hopeful, since I believe change is possible, and I am grateful to have been able to evolve my values to align with the principles of social justice.
