ID: Daytime photo of five story, incredibly colourful mural on concrete wall with carpark below. An elephant’s head emerges from dark brown, ochre and tan muddy expanse where the commonwealth crown and the Koh-i-noor crown sink, a lotus flower floats. As the sun rises behind, the colour transitioning sky is filled with plants indigenous to Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung country such as Billy Buttons, Hop Wattle, and Casuarina as they meld with those significant to cultures across Asia and beyond such as pomegranates, cotton, and peppercorns. The elephant’s trunk juts out of mud to spurt a coiling stream into the air with text that reads “LEGACIES MELDS HERE / CROWNS WITH STOLEN JEWELS WASH AWAY / GROWTH REMEMBERS LOSS”. At base of mural, behind Pig Face leaves with its pink flower in centre, long pink text reads  “REMEMBER / RECLAIM”
