Story

One of my favourite things to do each day is watch the nyunga (sun) bagojei (rise) and start a new day. My favourite place to do this is on Country (Mununjali Country) and watch it bagojei over the borrols (mountains)

In this artwork I used my favourite shade of blue for the sky, it makes me think of a fresh, bright and brand new day, combined that with dreamy pink and orange borrols and a bright yellow nyunga. The pastel blue is used for the symbology for meeting and serves as a reminder to meet at the nyunga bagojei.

I hope when you look at this artwork you are reminded that each day is a chance to do something great, even if its getting up early to watch the nyunga bagojei over the borrols.
