“We look to the “Morning Star, the first light, and remember Baiyami and Gyian the Whale’s journey from the Mirrabooka (the Milky Way) to spread the kinship system among all living things - as Baiyami descended upon the empty land he crushed the mountain of Yango and suddenly a light appeared in the eastern sky, it was the birth of the Morning Star” (Darkinjung ElderGavi Duncan)The new world was born then Baiyami said to Gyian, "This will be your Dreaming place. You shall reign over these lands and waters, my friend. Your kin will forever live in these sacred realms on Earth. Go and give what I have given to you, the kinship of life. Gyian went into the lands taking with him the spirit of Baiyami.
Baiyami ascended back to the Mirrabooka. During the Dreamtime period, Gyian intermingled with other creatures, passing on the Laws of Baiyami. He later changed form from a bird of the land to live as he does today in the ocean as a whale. This was the birth of Gyian on Earth.

The artwork described seems to be a rich tapestry of vibrant colours and textures, achieved through the layering of acrylics mixed with Liquitex Soft Gel.This piece's meticulous selection of colors reflects the natural hues found in Australian flora, particularly the Banksia, a genus endemic to the region. The Banksia's unique form and coloration are beautifully rendered through the artist's skillful application of mixed media, with Liquitex Soft Gel enhancing the textural qualities of the painting.The Bottle Brush Tree, also known as Callistemon, is deeply embedded in the Aboriginal culture of Australia. Its striking red blooms do more than just beautify the landscape; they are also rich in cultural symbolism and utility. Indigenous Australians have utilized this hardy tree for millennia, finding uses from food to natural medicine. The nectar of its unique flowers was made into sweet drinks for special ceremonies, representing the abundance of nature. Meanwhile, the leaves and bark, brewed into a therapeutic tea, provided a remedy for respiratory ailments, reflecting the tree's caring nature.
