Our Artwork
Doorways to Reconciliation
This artwork represents dormakaba’s reconciliation journey and its commitment to unity, respect, inclusion and meaningful connection. At the centre is dormakaba, symbolising the people, values and shared purpose that guide the business forward. Surrounding this centre are symbols that reflect the key areas of the Reconciliation Action Plan, the behaviours of dormakaba’s staff, and the important relationships held with customers, communities and partners across Australia and globally. The pathways, gathering places, land, sea and map of Australia represent dormakaba’s presence across many places and sectors, while also honouring the importance of connection to Country, people and place. Together, the artwork tells a story of reconciliation, shared responsibility, trust and positive change.
