This tight-knit school of five captures the fun, laughter, and life-long memories made by the beach over a Sydney summer. Shady palms offer shelter from the sun and connection to the shoreline— always a symbol of carefree days spent reading, writing or sharing an aperol in good company! This piece invites you to drift back to a time of innocence and playfulness, when life was only about saltwater, friendship and freedom. Who says we ever have to grow up? Life’s better by the beach.

My symbolic 3 crosses in this piece could be saltwater, friendship and freedom. You decide!
