Located in Truganina on Bunurong Country, Converging is a public artwork that draws together stories of place, community, and movement.
Commissioned by Wyndham City Council and delivered in collaboration with Canvas Projects (now JASMAX), the work offers a contemporary reflection on Truganina’s position as a site of convergence — where histories, cultures, and pathways intersect.
Our Role
Our team worked closely with Waup from the earliest stages, providing curatorial guidance to shape the concept, and supporting the development of her application for the commission.
Once awarded, WRAP collaborated with the artist to refine and translate her design into a resolved proposal that could move seamlessly into fabrication and delivery.
This process ensured that the integrity of her vision was maintained while aligning with technical, material, and architectural requirements.
The Result
At its heart, Converging is a celebration of connection — of people to place, and of past to present. By embedding narrative within form and material, the work acknowledges the custodianship of the Bunurong people while offering the wider community a new way to encounter and reflect on their shared environment.
Artist Statement
“Converging reflects the idea of crossroads as a place of possibility, of coming together to form a new whole. It represents a moment to pause, reflect, and see where you have been and where you are going. The work celebrates the strength that comes from coming together, acknowledging our shared journeys, and creating new connections. Through this piece, I invite the community to see convergence as a moment of balance — a reminder that we are stronger together.”

Lisa Waup
Lisa Waup is a mixed-cultural First Nations artist and curator, born in Naarm (Melbourne), whose multidisciplinary practice encompasses a diverse range of media, including weaving, printmaking, photography, sculpture, fashion, and digital art. With a deep connection to the symbolic power of materials, her work reflects her personal experiences, family history, Country, and broader historical narratives.
Through her practice, Waup weaves together threads of lost history, ancestral relationships, motherhood, and the passage of time, culminating in contemporary expressions that speak to her past, present, and future. In her words, "As a multidisciplinary artist, I'm guided to utilise so many different mediums—they really talk to me—and in turn they're able to explain my story in different ways, they all connect with each other. Material diversity is a big part of what I do in my practice—I'm happy to move across various media and am always open to exploring new materials and approaches that connect to the work I am making at the time."
