Poached is a representation of what's left of a turtle after is has been illegally slaughtered. Turtle and dugong poaching is still occurring across our regions and the meat is sold on the black market all through out Queensland. This artwork is designed to raise awareness of this secret activity and start a broader discussion which will hopefully change people's perspective on the harvesting of these animals for commercial gain, not cultural purposes.
