In the bottom right corner, the variation of colour in the ocean is a representation of the depths of rich history intertwined within our culture. As the ocean reaches the sandy shores it emerges as a rich golden tint - the colour of optimism. Separating the shore and land is travelling tracks, that are unbroken and stretch across the entire surface to convey their unbreakable persistence to keep on going. Symbolically, the three meeting places display the many generations of First Nations people who all are determined to succeed. Fading into a red ochre hue, Buggeiri depicts the wholesome land that has been First Nations Peoples home for more than 60,000 years. In the top left corner is the sacred eucalyptus tree, that carries great significance and is a strong spiritual symbol to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. Finally, the core symbol of optimism and persistence is conveyed through the baby and mother turtle, who are separated. The baby turtle is persistent to reach the safety of its mother, and the mother turtle is displayed as tranquil and optimistic that her offspring will arrive securely. The rough waves are a symbol of the hardships and challenges, and the turtles are a representation of the powerful community and their everlasting strength, persistence and optimism. Through the storyline, texture and cultural elements, the themes of persistence and optimism are strongly displayed as values that the Aboriginal culture has forever cherished. About The Artist Taylor-Lee is a rising Indigenous artist from the southern Gold Coast. A proud young Kungadidji 16-year-old, she loves to surf, skate and paint — passions often reflected throughout her work through ocean elements, blue tones and boho-inspired pastels. In 2023, Taylor-Lee’s NAIDOC Week artwork was selected as one of six highly commended pieces by the Queensland Government. Shortly after, she was awarded the Young, Black & Proud Scholarship for her art. Balancing school, surfing and creativity, Taylor-Lee continues to design and share new artworks through Ochre Sisters — named after both herself and her younger Indigenous sister.
