Story: My piece represents NAIDOC 2023 – For our Elders
I based my artwork on knowledge and education that our Elders have, and pass down to us and our wider community through the generations.
The two meeting places represent both the male and female side of our culture, similar in ways but also very different represented in the colours.
The background shows the future generations coming up and emerging as we absorb the knowledge from our Elders and shows the elements of our traditions and culture.
Our Elders are the teachers of our ways, our food, our behaviour and show us how we then become Elders for our younger generations.
When all these elements work together the result is beautiful. We set the example for our future generations and empower them to do the same!
