The intersection of love and greed.
This work is nature itself crying out to be heard and letting us know it's in trouble, it also talks of the recent flights to space by billionaires and the absolute greed and narcissism in such an act, and how this style of greed is killing the world.
The land and its animals speak to us in English and Indigenous language. The birds – carriers of knowledge – represent both the endurance of Indigenous culture and the ancient history of Australia’s endemic plants and animals.
