Boonwurrung, Ugar and Erub artist Amina Briggs is best known for her portfolio of work exploring themes of culture, identity, and racism. 

The design for this expansive underpass mural features flowing water along the length of the wall, figuratively symbolising a connection to nature as it reflects the flow of pedestrian traffic on the footpath. Moreover, it references water associations with both Malcolm Creek and Hume Council, whose symbol bears a resemblance to a Pisces—a water sign.

Traditionally, water is a powerful symbol in First Nations culture; providing sustenance, safe passage, and vital resources. In contemporary culture, water also represents community values; displaying resilience and promoting interconnectedness. Essentially, water is a life source for sustaining all living beings. Its presence is crucial for survival, allowing communities to thrive and perpetuate the cycle of life. 

In connection with the Hume Stolen Generations Marker and the First Nations significance of possum skins, the mural depicts possums swimming joyfully alongside fish. In reality, possums are not natural swimmers, but the inclusion is symbolic of a connection to country and exchange of cultures. This adds a sense of intentional irony and absurdity, a visual relief meant to engage passers-by in a more thoughtful response. The duality of this design subtly prompts viewers to consider the harsh realities of the Stolen Generation era; one marked by unnatural circumstance, displaced people, abuse, and death. The mural serves as a reflection of this somber history, establishing a meaningful connection between the artwork and the Hume Stolen Generations Marker.
