Leaps of Hope, Hearts Aflame by Celine Li

Look up from the streets of the city centre and spot the vibrant artworks of Asian-Australian artists on street banners to celebrate the Year of the Horse.

Celebrating the vibrant Year of the Fire Horse, this artwork taps into a bold and transformative energy – sparking passion and enthusiasm for the year ahead.

For the Chinese Australian artist, Lunar New Year evokes cherished memories of familial warmth, shared feasts and hopeful anticipation for good health and happiness.

This piece extends that hopeful spirit to all Australians, inviting everyone to leap into the exciting unknown, guided by intuition and passion. It's a reminder for us to come together as a community and fan our inner creative flames.
