Each of the elements of the artwork reflect a different aspect of Dharug Country and culture. The heart shapes represent the beating heart of Dharug Country and Interconnectedness, while the dots represent culture. Lines reflect the region’s river systems as a source of life and journey. Textured foundations between these details represent Country itself.

"In these concepts, I have tried to depict Dharug Nura from an aerial perspective, giving it a patchwork look reminiscent of a parcel of land. Early colonists often described our land as looking almost parklike, noting the manipulated appearance of important landscape features such as
waterways. The dots denote the many cultural archaeological sites and the richness of cultural significance to Dharug Nura and WSA Country" - Jamie Eastwood
