The artwork represents the beginning of a new era for Tindo Solar. Along with the new brand, Tindo is looking at its position in reconciliation and how to include/adopt better practices in engaging with First Nations people.

Tindo being a Kaurna word for ’Sun’, I have created the artwork referencing The Sun Dreaming story about how the sun was created. In the story, there is a reference to the Emu, Brolgas and how they battle and create the sun, but is the Kookaburra who sings each morning to let people know that it is a new day and to witness the beautiful sunrise. I have represented this through the Kookaburra feathers to the left of the artwork, offering guidance and safety to Tindo, who is positioned to the right of the wing. You can then see that Tindo Solar on their journey and business practices, will pass their new knowledge and commitment to reconciliation throughout their whole network.

This is shown through the black pathways connecting different groups and businesses. Across the top and bottom of the wing you will see collective brown patterns which represent the Australian terrain, in particular Kaurna Country as a nod to the company name. The three segments to the top right represent the people and pathways in and around Tindo. This can be the people that they service, and also the people who work within Tindo.

Below these people are long brush strokes representing the rivers and waterways of South Australia, in particular the River Torrens where the story of ‘Tarntanya’ takes place. Under the river streams, you will see vegetation and new roots of trees growing, which is representative of sustainability and new life that generates along river streams in natural filtration processes. This connects to Tindo Solars commitment to sustainable energy and ‘caring for country’ practices that play a daily role in their operation.
