Blackbook Ink was approached by PCYC Auburn to embark on an exciting project: creating urban artworks for the newly established Auburn PCYC premises. The objective was to develop vibrant and youthful pieces that accurately reflected the values upheld by the PCYC, including respect, integrity, commitment, resilience, and citizenship.
One of the proposed concepts focused on showcasing the hands of two multicultural youths at the forefront, engaging in a handshake on the main entrance wall. This powerful image symbolized mutual respect and emphasized the sense of protection and respect within the youth community, reinforced by the presence of the police ribbon elegantly wrapping around both hands.
In the second concept, we aimed to depict police officers and youths engaging in relaxed conversations and collaborative activities, fostering an environment of open dialogue and cooperation. To maintain visual coherence between the murals, we extended the police ribbon from the entrance wall, creating a harmonious connection and unifying both artworks within the area.
The benefits of these urban artworks extend far beyond their aesthetic appeal. They serve as a source of inspiration, empowerment, and unity for the youth community that frequents the Auburn PCYC. By incorporating meaningful symbolism and reflecting the core values of the PCYC, these murals create a positive and engaging environment that encourages personal growth, mutual understanding, and positive relationships between the police and the youth.
