Artists Arif Satar and Audrey Fernandes-Satar developed these artworks for the Girls Accommodation Facility for the expansion of Banksia Hill Detention Centre by conducting a series of creative workshops with current female detainees of the Department of Corrective Services. The exercise of drawing a ‘personal logo’ on the surfaces of a 3D paper shoe encouraged creation of unique designs that reflected on motion, movement and stillness.

Reflections on where the shoe has been and where it is going provided a self-awareness exercise, and then became the foundation for artwork concepts implemented through a collection of artworks for the specialized facility.

The artworks were integrated to surfaces or became layers for screening elements in the facility. They contribute to the therapeutic community concept as elements for daily encounter to support the holistic care of the detainees.
