This artwork is about my Mum, Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori. She was taken away from her Country but she never lost her creative roots. Her art is bright and light, just like the land she was born in, Mirdidingki, on the south side of Bentinck Island. This is her Country, where the Big Lake is located. While painting, my memories came back when my mother and father showed me and taught me about unique and powerful places on their land, and I felt happy and connected with them and my land.
