Please tell us about the cultural insight that inspired the work

Australia is a federation of six states and two territories. Any normal year Australians are free to move between states without restrictions or border controls. Indeed, most Australians have been blissfully unaware of the state borders. In 2020 that all changed. For the first time in over 100 years, the bickering state premiers slammed shut their borders, separating friends, families and entire communities. Dominating news across the nation. Queensland Premier openly warring with NSW Premier. Western Australia closing its border to the rest of Australia. Victoria, the Coronavirus pariah state, and its Premier Daniel Andrews berated up and down the land for multiple hotel quarantine breaches. The state 'border wars', as the media dubbed them, denied 25 million Australians their freedom of movement in their own country, strikingly at odds with the low Coronavirus case numbers. We needed a bold and provocative campaign to to tear down the metaphorical walls.
