SWELL 2025 ARTWORK
Hello Cockies!
Julie showcases the sulphur-crested cockatoo for its ecological and cultural significance in Australia. She presents these lively birds in a comical way—some spinning, others slowly rotating or standing guard—creating a captivating spectacle designed to evoke joy and laughter.
In a world filled with challenges, we need moments of whimsy. These intelligent, curious birds provide just that. Beyond their playful antics, they play a vital role in the ecosystem as seed dispersers, aiding reforestation despite their noisy, mischievous nature.
This work celebrates their vibrant character while highlighting their ecological importance, inviting viewers to appreciate their presence with a smile.
