About the Artwork
The artwork represents the Land and the Sea Culture of the Aboriginal People from the Cairns Region.
My Totem, the Cassowary represents the Land in which we stand on.
Our rainforest presents itself in many colours and is represented by the green colours around the Cassowary.
Our seas in which we swim are represented by the blue colours and the Sea Turtle.
Aboriginal people of many ages are represented by their footsteps from beginning to end to mark their journey through our land and our seas.
The circles represent Wuchopperen Health Service, the service that links and supports many holistic issues surrounding the health and wellbeing of the Aboriginal people today. In order to maintain the strength of the Aboriginal people you must first understand our land and sea.
