Hero artworks, various installations and animations for Parramatta Council LNY 2024-2026.

‘Destination/Arrival’, is a giant photo-worthy installation created by Sydney artist, illustrator and animator Chris Yee takes inspiration from motifs of traditional Chinese Paifang and uses contemporary design techniques to reflect the modern Asian Australian.

Yee said his installation symbolises Parramatta’s rich diversity, vibrant culture and transformation.

“I wanted to create something that looks traditional from afar but has a modern twist and vibrancy akin to the diverse personality of Parramatta up close, it’s been really important for me to personally connect with the local community and help champion creative talent in Western Sydney,” Yee said.

“The Fire Horse leads us on a bold year of excitement and action for a promising future. It takes remnants of the past and leads us into something new, transformative and radical.

“I am proud to complete my three-year art tenancy with the City of Parramatta with this vibrant installation that echoes the growth, journey and excitement the city has experienced.”
