The colours shapes lines and textures in this work draw on the rich Australian landscape, particularly when observed in aerial view on hot sunny days, 'somewhere in the middle' of the journey between Sydney and Adelaide. The richness of the soil, dry and parched in parts, with glints and reflections of occasional surface water, an isolated cloud and shadow encapsulated in a single image. And if you look closely you might find faces, faces of the past present and perhaps the future, stories that only they and the viewer may tell.
 
The theme is consistent with Rachel's current work, which explores Australia’s unique ecosystem, rich colours and topography. The spiral, which can be seen in all of her current work, symbolises evolution and our relationship with and impact on the environment in hope that we as a society can appreciate, protect and nurture what we have before it’s too late.
