Aboriginal Art | Yanhagagi | Original painting - 30 x 40 cm

"Yanhagagi", It is not merely a depiction of walking; it encapsulates a profound journey of self-discovery and connection with the world around us.

Derived from the Wiradjuri word for 'walk,' this artwork is a reflection of my personal experiences and insights gained through the practice of walking. It transcends the physical act, delving into the spiritual and emotional dimensions of this age-old ritual, making it a deeply personal and relatable piece.

In creating "Yanhagagi," I embarked on a deeply introspective journey, exploring the therapeutic nature of walking to clear the mind, soothing the soul, and rediscovering the inherent beauty surrounding us. Each brushstroke and hue selection is imbued with intention, capturing the essence of the rhythmic cadence of footsteps on the earth's surface.

This artwork stands as a testament to the transformative power of walking, inviting viewers to embark on their own paths of healing and self-discovery. It symbolises a profound connection with nature and the universe and a journey towards inner peace and harmony, making it a truly impactful and inspiring piece.

Through "Yanhagagi," I share my belief in the therapeutic qualities of walking, encouraging others to embrace this simple yet profound practice to reconnect with themselves and the world around them. This work will inspire individuals to step outside, breathe in the fresh air, and embark on their transformative journeys of self-exploration and growth.
