This piece honours the sacred role of the mother figure—protector, nurturer, and keeper of wisdom. At the heart of the piece is the central female symbol, representing the matriarch, surrounded by the people she guides. Their circle reflects unity, respect, and the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next.

From the left, a native flowering gum reaches in with vibrant red and pink blossoms—symbols of life, beauty, and strength. In the bottom right, blooming banksias rise, representing resilience, nourishment, and the gifts of the land. Animal tracks lead from all directions toward the mother figure, showing how all beings—human, spirit, and creature—are drawn to her grounding presence.

Above, the golden sun radiates warmth and life, while just beneath it, ancestral star symbols remind us that we are never alone. The ancestors walk with us, their guidance shining down, just as She Who Guides does here on Earth. This artwork is a tribute to the powerful feminine spirit that leads with love, walks with wisdom, and carries the stories of generations.
