The painting:
Basically the painting tells the viewer that life is controlled by the change of the environment. This change has taken place within thousands of years, yet man within an eye blink can cause the same change in the land for the sake of development.
The artist:
My mother is fifth generation Australian of European descent and my father a Torres Strait Islander. I grew up knowing I was an Islander but had no knowledge of my family or culture.
