Artwork by Jasmine Sarin
“The artwork represents the many communities and organisations that are working together to help reduce the impact of Hepatitis. Family connection, community support and access to services make up the many symbols illustrated in this piece.
The main feature of the artwork is a unique symbol that represents Hepatitis NSW, a place that strives to assist, provide support and education about hepatitis. The earthy tones are an acknowledgement to being on country and the healing properties our mother earth provides for us, it also compliments the wonderful colours of Hepatitis NSW brand."
