900mm x 900mm. Oil on canvas. 2002. / Original $650 + p&p In October 2001 three hundred and fifty three asylum seekers – men women and children – lost their lives when their unseaworthy and overcrowded fishing boat, the SIEVX ,sunk. They were seeking refuge in Australia. Around this time the Australian government was engaged in divisive actions designed to create fear of ‘the other’ amongst our communities so people would support their policies aimed at reducing the number of asylum seekers trying to come to Australia. It was working. Many Australians seemed to lose their compassion and empathy over only a few short years and I was appalled whenever I heard people, whom I knew and loved, coming out with racist, angry and frightened comments when talking about refugees. While I was safely working, eating, playing, enjoying my children, painting, studying, people just like me were being tortured or murdered for their beliefs, separated from their families and homelands, risking their lives in unseaworthy vessels in the hope of finding a safe life for themselves and their families. There but for the grace of god go I.

In 2001, after spending almost a year speaking to refugees in India, I finally went to Tibet to make a documentary on life for Tibetans under the Chinese occupation. Of all the beautiful, tragic and helpless people I saw and met in what is left of Tibet, this child stood out. Maybe it was because our meeting was fleeting: I shot this image with an 18-200 lens at quite a distance as her family herded sheep… Or maybe it was because I wonder to this day where she is and what has become of her. What is absolutely clear is that her life, just like every other Tibetan living under China’s grim fist, will never be what it could have been if the Chinese had not invaded Tibet half a century ago. I have often battled with what I saw in Tibet. Part of me broke there because I realised that no matter how many voices condemn the atrocities that take place there every day, it won’t make a difference because of China’s growing economic might. The fact that the Olympics of 2008 ever took place proved me right. I don’t shout about Tibet anymore but I do like to remind people that while we continue to consume Chinese goods and partner the Chinese in their ‘progression’ we should always be mindful of the Tibetans whose identity, religion and education has been largely forgotten… For economic gain.

An Akha mother wears a traditional silver headdress as she breastfeeds her young baby and appliques cloth that she will stitch into clothing. At night, she wears her heavy headdress, beads and jewelry to bed. Her babies cap is also decorated with silver coins and glass beads. The Akha, one of the most exquisitely dressed peoples in Asia, are one of several tribes that live in the mountains of China, Thailand, Laos and Burma. Traditionally they were opium growers and animists, believing in a myriad of spirits that share their mountainous world. This woman had recently moved her village from Burma into northern Thailand to escape persecution and seek new land for their fields when this photo was taken in 1978.

little Tibetan monks in Jangchubling Monastery, Dehra Dun, India We all know H.H.the 14th Dalai Lama, history and culture of Tibet. After the brutal Chinese “liberation” of Tibet, in reality invasion and illegal annexation of Tibet (1949-1951) and years following, thousands and thousands Tibetans are after dangerous flights well out of from “free” Tibet. Finally in India and Nepal they have found peace and freedom, but refugee status puts restrictions to them all till nowadays without usual human rights. In refugee status you can’t have rights to apply citizenship, and therefore follows- no property, no public or vocational education, you can’t go to university and travel abroad… you are just refugee and your children stay refugees… till your homeland will be really free and you could return to really free Tibet!We all know H.H.the 14th Dalai Lama, history and culture of Tibet.
