Bunji Artwork

Dimensions: 152 × 100 × 2 cm

This gift is an official artwork titled Bunji. It celebrates 60 years of bilateral relations between Singapore and Australia and embodies the deep connection forged through six decades of trade, defence, science, innovation, education, arts and digital and green economies.

Created by award-winning First Nations artist Jessica Begg, a proud Yued Noongar descendant from Moora, Western Australia, Bunji draws inspiration from Singapore's national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim, which symbolises resilience and hardiness – characteristics reflected in both nations.
