About the work:

This powerful piece was inspired by two young local members within the Melton community, Shannon and Regina. Both are passionate musicians who have recently signed onto Mushroom Records, and are heavily involved in providing enriching music opportunities to their peers. This artwork conveys their deep love for music and explores how sound can be visually portrayed. Using deep earth tones, Da Silva has delivered a depiction with influences from her cultural heritage whilst paying homage to the energy and power of the music of the young people she worked with.
