ARTWORK MEANING
“The meaning behind Aak Min is meeting place in Wik Mungkan language. It is a place that brings out that spiritual connection you would have with the land. It’s a place that you feel emotionally connected to. It allows you to be yourself. It is not a place to sit down and talk to others, it’s a quiet, peaceful place that allows you to be one with nature, and to see clearly and listen deeply. The mountains are like natures walls protecting you from the outside world, it speaks to you when the wind blows. The stream is a place you can swim and relax in, and as you get out it refreshes you. All bad thoughts washed away down further into the stream. The meeting place allows you to sit strongly and embrace all the goodness that our land has to offer.”
