Aboriginal Beautiful Journey 3Tier Display Lamp Bundle 45cm

Jacinta-rai Ridgeway-Maahs is a contemporary Indigenous Artist, telling stories through art like her ancestors. A proud Worimi woman creating on Butchulla country, Jacinta-rai embraces earthy tones, peachy pinks, pastels and bold colours. Motivated by country, community, culture, life and family, she creates stories that connect with people of all cultures.

 Jacinta-rai’s art is meditation. Quiet relaxation comes with every symbol, dash and dot. She strongly believes children are our future, in education, equality, taking care of country, kindness and walking together.

 Home Design Story

 Home represents the way we find our path and walk life’s journey on country. As individuals, we each contribute to community in a variety of ways – all different yet equally essential for a balanced environment. The feeling of home celebrates acceptance of each other, our diversity and uniqueness regardless of our strengths and weaknesses.

 It shows that we can walk together in unison and truly make a difference for generations to come.

Together Again Design Story

 This holds the story of two people united in the challenges, celebrations and opportunities that come with walking a shared life’s path. It depicts a short separation when one passes before the two come together again. Reunited, they explore all that the dreaming has to offer and reflect on the beautiful life they shared as they watch over their loved ones.

 Two rainbows symbolise how every experience adds and strengthens their relationship. Colourful surroundings represent their legacy and memories shared with family as they grew and walked together through country.  

Journeys in the sun Design Story

 Journeys in the sun tells of the many experiences had by my Worimi ancestors as they travelled across country.

 The warmth and brightness of the sun are represented by a large mustard circle. A rainbow portrays vast sand dunes of Worimi land as the sun beams down on them and the path travelled.

 The large circle pattern embraces the fundamental core of our spirit, coming together and our cultural and community beliefs. Circles demonstrate various mobs in community, yarning with their young, teaching the way of the land using sun, sky and sea to survive on country.

 Finally, tracks connect individual mobs and show how they come together in times of celebration or need - living together on country.
