Neysal (Leaves)
My print depicts plant leaves that have been identified to us by our parents, their parents, and theirs. This knowledge tells us that each leaf plays a role in our livelihood. These plant leaves are part of our lifestyle. We use them in different ways, such as: smoking ceremonies, medicine, mat, bed, food, drink water from, etc. We grew up understanding the teaching given to us by our Uncle and Aunties by identifying the leaves of either plant or tree. We understand leaves are used for, in the various seasons.
