'Our Bundu' painting
Carly Wallace, Our Bundu, 2024
"As Aboriginal people, our Bundu (dilly bag) are always full. Full of cultural responsibility for kin and country, filled with the weight of the past, along with the present. The black space can feel tiring and empty and our bundu can feel heavy, but our Bundu are also filled with culture, with love for one another, and our love for country. Our Bundu weave us together as one people, and we carry them with pride." Carly Wallace
