These seven kangaroo silhouettes are captured in mid-flight, carrying briefcases. The concept of the artwork is derived from people working on the Terrace and returning home. The kangaroos, once abundant in the area, are seen racing back to King’s Park after a hard day at work. The briefcases draw attention to contemporary life on the Terrace and brings a touch of humour to Perth’s premier business avenue.
