The colours evoke the dynamic energy of waves lapping gently at a tranquil shoreline, reminding us of nature’s endless rhythm and the serenity found in the depths of water. In the foreground, symbolic figurines stand as silent sentinels, embodying ancestral guardians who hold space for strength, resilience, and connection to the land and sea. This work invites the viewer to connect with the sacred essence of the ocean and to honour the wisdom of those who came before us.
