Awareness (VII)

Modern times has shown that plastic bags are detrimental to the environment and may often be mistaken for jellyfish, which are a food source for marine predators such as the Waru (Green-Sea Turtle). The Waru can be found throughout the waters of Zenadh Kes (Torres Strait Islands) and has been a part of our peoples diet for thousands of years and it is important why we should look after our environment, for the sustainability of our people and our future generations.

This artwork also serves as an analogy for us to be mindful of what we consume both physically and mentally but importantly in a spiritual state if we are to live a fruitful and productive life.

Mili with Yunga.

Mili is a stinging tree which is often covered in Yunga, green ants. My painting is about the Yunga building their nest on the leaves of the Mili.

My grandmother was a Nyungkul woman, and she lived in Wujal Wujal. In Nyungkul the language name for the Green ant is Yunga. My grandmother taught us how to collect it for medicine and to eat  when people are sick with flu.

Mili, stinging tree is my totem.
