Anzac Square mosaic mural

[1] Ross's mosaic is an abstract allusion to death and redemption, depicting three naked figures and a soul-like fourth ascending towards a stylised vision of heaven from a rocky outcrop.

[2] It was conceived as the central motif for the former World War II Shrine of Memories in the RSL State Branch Headquarters at Anzac House, 193 Wickham Terrace, Brisbane – its original location.

[7] The State Government Insurance Office (SGIO) took responsibility for moving the Shrine as part of a major project to redevelop Anzac Square.

Gregorini had been recruited following a lengthy world-wide search by the SGIO and the Queensland Government for an expert capable of effecting this painstaking and delicate operation.

[8] In 2019, the State Library of Queensland assumed responsibility for the curation of the World War II Memorial Galleries beneath Anzac Square, and in 2021 recorded an interview with Darryl Ross, the artist's son, about the making of the mosaic.
