The unique 3D mural artwork uses the Perth Transport Operations Control Centre facade as its canvas to reflect nature and communicate a sense of belonging. Drawing a talented team of artists together through a collaborative design process, the artwork uses a public asset to create a culturally rich legacy for the precinct.

Kulbardi Season represents connection – connecting people through transit and connecting people to the landscape with First Nations symbolism. The mural includes Indigenous sand marking designs and heroes the Kulbardi, a totem of protection, refuge and vitality.

The artists also drew inspiration from the golden Western Australian sun, steering the choice of colours and materials to catch the sun’s glow across the metallic 3D feathers. The metal elements are set out from the facade to create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow as the sun moves throughout the day. Various finishes were applied to the feathers to provide different surfaces and ways to interact with the light. Flowers in the mural are strategically placed in a constellation layout, referencing connection of communities through the skies and stars.
