Zachary Bennett-Brook, an Indigenous man of Torres Strait Islander ancestry born and raised on Dharawal Country (Wollongong), is the artist and owner of Saltwater Dreamtime. Creating artworks on buildings, schools and surfboards, he is a contemporary artist whose love for the ocean and surroundings inspires his well-known artwork.
In this episode, we discuss what health means in a holistic sense, why creativity, culture and connecting with nature is important and how becoming aware of who we are is essential if we want to live out our dreams, achieve success and be truly happy from within.
We discuss how, despite being reluctant to even finish year 12, his final schooling years sparked a deep connection to his indigenous heritage that came out through his art. In this chat, Zach speaks of how he continues to align his values with his work and this was tested when it came to designing a surfboard piece for Chris Hemsworth.
Sensory deprivation float tanks, sitting under the stars at night, as well as how it can seem as though we have two voices in our head at times is also discussed!
A truly great and down-to-earth chat with an absolute legend of a guy - I hope you enjoy another episode on The HCA with Emma podcast.
