Unitywater Executive Manager Strategic Engagement, Joshua Zugajev, said the utility’s Community Art Program turned essential infrastructure into works of art across Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast and Noosa.
“We know the community appreciates that our assets are a crucial part of ensuring we can provide essential water and wastewater services, and our art program improves the appearance of these functional assets,” Mr Zugajev said.
“These artworks represent the local area and natural environment, and this eye-catching cabinet on Wises Road, near Forestwood Drive Park, sparks curiosity about the ways we can all value water.”
Kyle Senese from KM8IVE Arts painted the mural to illustrate the life-giving purpose of water, the community’s everyday use of it and the importance of protecting it into the future.
“It’s our role to acknowledge the time we have on this earth and the generation after us, leaving them with the same, if not better, knowledge of how we can care and respect for all vital resources that have been provided for us by nature,” he said.
Mr Senese took a different approach to the paint application, using spray paint canisters to add to the unique and abstract design.
Unitywater’s Community Art Program recently produced two artworks in Noosa and one in Moreton Bay as part of its mission to contribute to healthy and thriving communities while supporting emerging and established artists across the region.
