Rivers and Tides

Our artwork ‘Rivers and Tides’ pays tribute to how rainfall, tides and river levels have been monitored by First Nations peoples. Through this monitoring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people can determine the impacts on flora, fauna and other natural resources so all can live in harmony and peace. Freshwater and saltwater is represented in our artwork as the central flow to demonstrate the connection to water and First Nations Peoples identity and spirituality. The heart flows the stream of water to the river to show deep connection to Country. The sky represents the Dreaming and the central figure connects all water sources together.
