The maintenance and connection to cultural knowledge is an important part of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s identity. Cultural practice as ceremony and ritual is still performed in many Communities throughout Australia, but unfortunately for many others there is disconnect and loss.

She evokes the old ways through new interpretations, by shifting cultural association into a rich artistic expression realigning what it means to be a Torres Strait Islander woman today.
