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.

Ceremonies and rituals play a central role in Torres Strait kinship. They mark important life events, such as birth, initiation, and death, and strengthen community bonds. The Torres Strait kinship system assigns roles and responsibilities within the community. This includes obligations related to marriage, child-rearing, and land management. Traditional adoption in the Torres Strait involves a cultural practice where individuals or families within the community formally take on the responsibility of caring for and raising a child who is not their biological offspring. This practice is deeply rooted in Torres Strait Islander culture and has been a way of strengthening family and community bonds. Traditional adoption is guided by cultural protocols and often involves ceremonies to mark the occasion. It’s important to note that this practice is specific to the Torres Strait region and differs from Western adoption systems
