Putting risk into perspective
Industry leaders have come together to debunk myths surrounding the AstraZeneca vaccine and encourage Australians to get the jab. @TheFactsination has been launched to ‘fight fear with facts’, an initiative bringing to life creative ideas to address Australian AZ hesitancy, including ‘The A to Z of things more likely to kill you than the AZ’. The creative content on the campaign was carried out by Good One Creative. The creative combines ‘internet facts’ and humour to highlight ways you are more likely to die, than the risks associated with getting a shot of the AZ vaccine. https://www.instagram.com/thefactsination/?hl=en

Most photographers seek to reveal, Gerwyn Davies attempts to conceal
ARTIST GERWYN DAVIES combines traditional costume making, studio staging and digital interventions, the human figure is removed from conventional representation and other selves are assembled. Bodies are adorned and choreographed for the lens, their glistening, textured surfaces entice while their hefty costumes distort and conceal. The double bind of a figure both conspicuous and nowhere to be seen, hiding in plain sight, triggers the work’s investment in queering the act of representation and renegotiating the terms of visibility. This age of endless self-imaging, these works explore the potential for self-presentation that emerge on the stage of the digital image. https://www.gerwyndavies.com/

Dragons for success by Chris Chun
A powerful symbol in Chinese culture. The dragon is considered to be the rainmaker and brings in winds of change. Displaying a dragon in your home will not only energise the house and the family, but it will also bring strength and vitality to everyone who resides there. An Australian designer with Chinese heritage, Chris honed his craft in Europe designing for textile design studios whose clients included the likes of Giorgio Armani & Missoni. A dragon in reds and oranges brings in the 'fire' element to create energy. The fire element represents success and inspiration in feng shui. https://www.chrischun.com/collections/dragon
