To honour the Year of the Ox, from Friday 12th Feb Crown is transforming its iconic fire towers on the Riverwalk into giant portraits for a two-week free exhibition – 'Portraits of Strength', captured by Hong Kong-born, Melbourne-based photographer, Sam Wong.
It embraces the sense of community and resilience born from the extraordinary challenges of 2020, and encourages strength for the upcoming year. Pertinent to the characteristics of this year’s zodiac
animal, each Australian profiled personifies the key traits of the Ox – strength, diligence, reliability,
honesty and commitment.
From the brave Infectious Diseases Nurse who comforted coronavirus patients in their final moments,
to the inspiring mother who cooked weekly meals for the homeless, or the SES fire fighter who battled the devastating 2019-20 bushfire disaster, the stories aim to encourage reflection and inspire strength as we move into the New Year.
There’s also a range of other festivities and culinary offerings, including Crown's signature Zodiac Spectacular featuring larger-than-life luminous sculptures. Lion dance teams and other roving performers will bring the resort to life daily from Friday 12 February to Sunday 21 February.
