Golden Rush

In ‘Golden Rush’ students explore a nostalgic Gold Coast, where beachside homes were once attainable for working families – dream now seemingly out of reach for today’s youth. Reflecting on the evolving landscape, they envision their future amid the Gold Coast’s diverse expansion. The artwork contrasts the small suburban past with the technologically advanced, culturally dynamic, and sustainable communities of the future. While nostalgia may evoke grief for past generations, the piece urges viewers to find positive opportunities in the unfamiliar yet promising future of development and progress.
