Heal Country (Paper Print)

Mirii Art 2021 NAIDOC Artwork: Heal Country

When we speak about Country, it is more than a place – it encompasses family, kin, law, lore, ceremony, traditions, and language.
This year’s theme is a call for us to protect Country; for us as a nation to work towards greater protections of our land, our water, our sacred sites, and our unique and beautiful culture and heritage.
Each layer in this artwork is symbolic of various aspects of Country. The bottom layer represents the sacred ground in which we stand upon; with pillars standing as tall, strong and proud as our ancestors and the men and women of which they hold.
On top of this, we see clusters of symbols which represent a combination of animal tracks and bush foods to remind us that Country encompasses our native flora and fauna.
The rolling hills pay respect to the land I live and work, on Dharawal Country. And the beautiful sea is one of my favourite places to be, where I feel grounded and thankful for my surroundings. Grandfather sun is shining over the landscape, giving us hope for a better and brighter future for generations to come.
