This artwork is a representation of the different paths and connections in life. All being unique and powerful. The earthy tones evoke being connected to country and appreciation for Gunni (mother).
This piece conveys our peoples connection to our plants.The Eucalyptus leaf provides our people with so many medicines and cultural practices, I thought it was fitting to showcase its beauty. The earth tones are what keeps us grounded and connected to Gunni (Mother) and the stars around the people show our connection to Baiame (Father) who lives in the stars.
