The white, blue, orange and brown community symbols represent the many different communities that Nurses travel from all throughout Australia, from the desert and the outback to the coastlines and waterways. These community symbols are connected to eNurse’s community symbol through the white dotted spirit tails surrounded by blue dots, which represents their journeys and all of the people they meet and help along the way. The white and orange dotted circles throughout the painting connected to the large blue ring through the white spirit trails represents the Nurses and how they are connected to their patients.
