Artwork Story

During the time of my grandfathers, Ftahers and Uncle they would leave thier families for suc a ling time working out in the sea, it was hard back then. The E represents long lanes, they would make songs for tides, windsm currents and places where they travelled too. Colours represents me as a Torres Strait Islander.
