Vibrant and captivating murals take centre stage at Point Social and each one has a deep connection to Point Cook's history and community. 

Town Square murals - 'Connection to the land, to nature and each other' by Katherine Gailer and Lucy Lucy

The mural design features 2 women surrounded by native fauna and flora, subtly acknowledging that the Boon Wurrung people are the traditional custodians of the land.

The core concept revolves around the idea of reconciliation with the land, Nature and each other. In a world where social media and barriers disconnect us from nature the mural aims to inspire a beautiful connection.
 
This vibrant mural transcends boundaries and unites people from diverse backgrounds, celebrating our shared commitment to protecting nature. With vivid colors and intricate designs, it serves as a visual reminder that our responsibility to preserve our planet knows no boundaries, fostering unity and environmental stewardship among all.

Diversity

As a collaborative piece by artists from overseas Katherine Gailer and Lucy Lucy, the proposed mural aligns perfectly with the spirit and environment of Point Cook. Katherine and Lucy have a successful ongoing collaborative practice, particularly thriving in projects that empower women, promote cultural diversity, and foster reconciliation with the natural environment.

This vibrant mural beautifully depicts two women from diverse backgrounds, celebrating the kaleidoscope of human diversity, colourfully representing the too often unrepresented. With a rich palette of colours, it's a visual ode to the strength found in embracing our differences. This mural stands as a powerful reminder that our world's beauty lies in its variety, and it's a call to celebrate and honour the stories, cultures, and experiences that make each individual unique. It serves as a beacon of hope and acceptance for all to admire.
