Save Our Souls is a meditation on the lighthouse in contemporary Australia. Once essential for safely guiding ships to shore, the lighthouse is now a technological relic. The effigy embodies the duality of the lighthouse, signalling both welcome and warning for seafaring travellers to Australian shores.
The redundancy of the lighthouse addresses a shift in Australia that is all at once technological, cultural and political.
