"To remember is not to look back, it is to carry forward."
Using sources that provided news reports from 1915 during the Gallipoli landings and war, this work pays respect to those who have served our country. Newspapers from the period were sourced and layered in an abstract montage. Patterns created from the overlapping articles become a visual tribute, the noise of wartime communication made visible. Installed in a space of learning for ANZAC Day, the work asks viewers to position themselves in a time when families waited weeks for news, and armies fought in silence from the rest of the world.

Selected for installation at AUT (Auckland University of Technology), this mural installation was displayed in the university gallery space for one month during ANZAC commemorations. The work serves as a reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of remembrance, particularly for younger generations learning about their nation's history.
