The Story Behind The Art This artwork celebrates the journey of a turtle (pigin) and its three young babies, symbolising the themes of family, protection, and the cycle of life. In Aboriginal culture, turtles are seen as ancient beings, embodying wisdom, resilience, and a deep connection to the earth and waters. The turtle's slow, steady movements mirror the patience and endurance required to navigate life’s challenges. The three young babies, protected by their mother, represent the future and the ongoing renewal of life, a reminder of the responsibility to care for the next generation. It serves as a visual reminder of the importance of nurturing, protecting, and passing on cultural knowledge through generations. Tallebula prints are a reproduction of a one-of-a-kind original artwork. A signed A5 Certificate of Authenticity, which details the story behind the art, is provided with each print. Show more
