This painting depicts the oldest living rainforest in the world, the Daintree Rainforest, where my ancestors, the Kuku Yalanji people, have lived for millennia. With the Rainforest Warrior in the foreground, it shows the connection that Aboriginal people have to the land and sea and still have a very strong spiritual connection to the land that our ancestors belonged to.

In the background you can see the mouth of the Daintree River where my mother was born so this land is a very special to me and my family. In the Kuku Yalanji language we call the land ”Bubu” meaning country.
