Connection
By Armani
Dhudhuroa
2024
This painting was done with a connection to family, culture & land in mind. This is a representation of the journey of a dark time in my life that ended up shining a great light into my life with a deep meaning of spiritual growth.I have realised that my culture, family & land have come together as one. Since I have been incarcerated, I have learned the meaning of this connection.
Learning that my culture goes back more than 60,000 years as the First Nations of Australia bonds me to this land. Through my family, I feel the love from all of my ancestry coming from the Dhudhuroa Mob of the land l am tied to. Through this dark time, I have found the light of my fife illuminating the path on my life's journey.
My Journey

This is the story of my journey of my heritage. The symbol for woman is me at a campfire at one watering hole. At the second connecting waterhole are my Ancestors. At the third waterhole are my children safe in a nest at home. The feet are my journey and the dots in black, yellow and red represent my Koorie heritage.

When you just dosed off and think you're still awake, you begin to dream then you're woken up, trying to work out whats going on? You don't remember falling asleep! Trying to out the pieces together but nothing fits.
