About the Artwork TITLE: Heal our COUNTRY Including our sacred sites, our cultural heritage, our waters, our animals, our bush medicines, our traditional practices, our health but most importantly heal us as First Nations people, through all the pain and suffering we have endured through generation to generation. Our children and our people deserve a better future. My painting is all those things: In the centre is our people gathering The six circles symbolising our sacred sites of the land and the protection of them Animal track – kangaroo and goanna, meaning protection Our salt waters and fresh waters flowing Our people’s hands in the corner to remind us of our strength and compassion that’s in our blood as well as the guidance of ancestors The pink and purple circles through the painting to resemble the berries and bush medicines And the gum leaves intertwining and connecting us as one, as well resembling the mother feeding us oxygen.
