"Cultivating joy in the everyday to me is one of the most radical acts an oppressed group can do. Through laughter and joy we cease to be defined by our oppression. The sovereignty of First Nations people and our Country is eternal, despite the colony that tries to erase us. The waterfall that once flowed with laughing water here upon Birrarung Marr can still be heard in the laughter of First Nations people who continue to honour Country every day. 

To me, joy is all around us, a tender and often domestic space of gathering, sharing, laughing and caring for one another. I want this work to remind audiences that joy can be a private space, an eternal and unshakable state."
