This painting represents the earthly element of fire or “Buri” the word for fire in Yidiny language. This piece sends the message that despite facing danger or troubles in our lives we can continue to stay strong and learn from our past mistakes. In this piece I have used line work on the corners of the canvas to represent fire and troubles we may face. Additionally, I have illustrated a branch representing individuals and their strength to stay clear of the flame and troubles that may harm them.
