jalngay-ngahriyan is a Yugambeh or Bundjalung word for Butterfly / Moth. The translation means "coloured lights" and "to play, Dance". This term has often described the Butterfly, and this piece depicts the Caterpillar cocoons that are readying to open. This time of the butterfly represents the first day of warmer weather, and in the Dreamtime, this manifestation symbolised that when one dies, one transforms into something beautiful. The spirits will take care of you, and your beauty will forever live. jalngay-ngahriyan is an afterlife, is hope, is an incarnation, is forever. Peace to all.
