Ngina - Here
I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge the traditional owners of this land on which I was born and raised.
As we go through our lives, we set out on a quest to find a place we feel the most connected to. This painting tells a story of finding that place, coming together as one and the journey taken to get there.
The large mountain symbols that feature strongly across the bottom of the painting depict the obstacles climbed to reach one life’s desired destination. Around the mountains, amongst the earthen toned rolling hills, there are watering hole symbols in golden ochre, these ancient symbols in Aboriginal language depict a place of rest, an opportunity to revitalise to continue the journey ahead. Across the centre of the painting, long connected travelling symbols are representation of the winding roads through life and the hundreds of intricately painted dots depict the feet walking throughout the travels of oneself.
In the top left corner of the painting is the Aboriginal symbol for the sun, sitting on the horizon shining brightly across the lands in a carefully chosen palette of soft but strong tones including blush pink, coral and strawberry red. To the right of the painting there are four traditional rainbow symbols representing the many experiences we’re blessed within our time together on these lands. Floating delicately above the rainbows are twelve white stars, to me these are my many family members whose spirits guide my journey.
This story is one of finding the place where we can say we are happy, and we are here. Here we have found where we fit, and it is here that we make our home. It is a beautiful tale of conquering those mountains to find your forever.
