CYMHS Proxima Reception Artwork
Brief
This live client brief required creating a large-scale digital artwork for the reception area of Gold Coast Health’s new Child and Youth Mental Health Service (CYMHS) facility at Proxim. Developed via Griffith University’s Liveworm Studio for young people aged 0–25, the submission called for a high-resolution, float-framed digital canvas. The work needed to align with the facility's interior design narrative—"A Story of Water: Nerang River to the Sea"—utilising gentle organic lines, non-overstimulating natural palettes, and therapeutic visual motifs that convey psychological safety, growth, and community belonging.
Outcome
Created in collaboration with Juliann Chen, the resulting digital piece explores identity, resilience, and diversity by using the Nerang River as a fluid boundary between two distinct coastal ecosystems. Grounded in the environmental interior palette, the composition features fan coral forms to symbolise safety, layered ripple patterns for fluidity, and scattered native land and marine flora/fauna to reflect interconnectedness. Migratory fauna—such as the whale and sea turtle—embody cultural diversity and shared journeys of belonging. Delivered as a high-resolution file ready for canvas printing and Tasmanian Oak float-framing, the artwork serves as a soothing, inclusive focal point for arriving patients, families, and staff.
