Matara Matara, by Saretta Fielding, captures the connection between Integrity 4 Life, Big Brown House, The Gray Area, and Hoop Dreams and their shared mission of supporting communities together.

Connection and collaboration symbolised through Indigenous storytelling and art.

"Matara Matara" by Saretta Fielding, is a celebration of collaboration, culture, and community among Big Brown House, Integrity 4 Life, and The Gray Area. The artwork honours the traditional custodians of the land and their connection to the environment. Central to the design is a gathering circle with interconnected traditional symbols representing the partnership and dedication of these services to supporting children, young people, and families.

The artwork also features pathways of "hand in hand" people symbols, representing connection, teamwork, and healthy relationships within the services and communities. Big Brown House is symbolised with five people, reflecting its core values of safety, support, quality, respect, and acceptance. The visual narrative is set against a backdrop of song lines, which signify the connection to country, cultural values, and the enduring presence of Aboriginal people.
