Branching into country

Hopes for the future: I wish for foregrounding connection to country and Indigenous knowledges in all systems. Photo highlights importance of nature connection and interaction for mental health. Tree branches extend into Beast’s head providing knowledge of lands and sky. Beast is looking to the future which is acknowledging and foregrounding wisdom of country and Indigenous people and histories and story telling. Human in photo loves and trusts Beast – is equal to Beast – eyes are closed trusting Beast, supported by Beast and wisdom of country.
