Waterfront Whale Tales | Swimming in Nostalgia
August 2022
To celebrate the Sydney Waterfront, whales, community and the official opening of the Western Harbour Precinct in its entirety; 30 whale Tales will tell 30 stories through art, along a connected trail for 6 weeks. Following their installation, the sculptures will be auctioned with proceeds supporting the Kids Cancer Project.
Inspired by personal connection to the iconic site-location & story telling, Pink Bits artwork presents a collection of memories from family photographs from 1995's Darling Harbour.
The painted design is blissfully playful in its rounded illustrative style; whilst exploring recognisable & relatable elements. The design is enveloped in an organic pattern of the oceans ripples, with a trove of memories spliced between them.

Concept Statement
"Sticky ice cream melting down my hand, the salty wind tousling my hair, and the sun giving my ankles a frilly sock tan.
My childhood holds so many memories at the Sydney Waterfront and many years later, I would fall in love there too. This place is where old & new memories meet.
'Swimming in Nostalgia', captures mementos, sights, sounds and warm memories of this special place."
