The mask in the artwork represents the profound concerns of my ancestors regarding the exploitation of our marine environment, driven by climate change and pollution. For centuries since creation, Indigenous peoples have possessed a rich tradition of sustainable marine conservation, emphasising responsible harvesting to ensure that resources endure for generations. Coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrasses are not merely ecosystems but essential components of biodiversity, food security, and cultural identity. Protecting these invaluable ecosystems is not just an environmental obligation but a cultural imperative. We must unite globally to protect our oceans, ensuring their health and abundance for future generations.

Yindili (Kingfisher)

The Kingfisher, known as Yindili in Kuku Yalanji language, is according to our culture one of the significant messenger birds.  The Kingfisher will let us know when to expect a visit from families living in another community, And when we see a Kingfisher close by, we know that something good will soon happen in our personal life.
