Artwork Description

The story was inspired by my ancestors and Gundungurra philosophy in growth, sharing, nurture and hope. We heavily relied on nature for learning and teaching us lessons of life. The beautiful relationship between the endangered purple copper butterfly and ants are valuable to us and fundamental in teaching us about virtues of hope, relationships, growth, nurturing each other through challenges.
