The targets captures intergenerational solidarity at the 2026 Invasion Day rally in Boorloo/Perth. A young girl sits on an Elder's shoulders, her direct gaze drawing the viewer into the moment. The image's heavy truth lies in its unseen context; this peaceful crowd was targeted by an attempted bombing. This chilling reality juxtaposes the vulnerability of children on the frontline with undeniable First Nations resilience. Shot on 35mm B&W film, the raw grain creates a permanent, grounded archival record. Ultimately, the photograph stands as a testament to our enduring spirit, holding firm and lifting up the next generation despite violent threats.
