Always Connected
Description:
My painting captures life’s journey and the role of Elders in shaping younger generations, handing them responsibility to continue learning culture and passing knowledge to the next generation.
A fish (our Elders) travels through the sea, a trail that reflects the past, present and future and the lessons and knowledge gathered on their journeys.
Two sea turtles (younger generations) swim towards this trail, beginning their journeys influenced by the wisdom of Elders.
White circles symbolise the knowledge we collect on our travels, while white strands highlight we all take different life directions.
Even so, we can always be connected and can learn from our Elders.
