"The Camel, 2023" explores the complex legacy of historical events that have served as inspiration. The focal point of the composition is Harry, the camel acquired by John Ainsworth Horrocks in 1846, marking the first use of camels on Australian expeditions. While initially beneficial, the presence of over a million feral camels has become an ecological problem. This artwork prompts contemplation of the delicate balance between preserving fragile ecosystems and human intervention. It serves as a call to action, urging collective efforts to safeguard Australia's unique biodiversity.
