ARTWORK: OUR ELDERS ARE OUR LEADERS

Artist Story
The Yakan (Long-Necked Turtles) in my culture connect to the storylines of my Boodjah (Country). This is a contemporary piece reflecting the importance of our Elders in community.
The two larger turtles are the Elders guiding, protecting and teaching the smaller turtles who are the Kiolangarahs. The circles are the spirit of their ancestors celebrating the healing that comes from the work being done through this journey.
