The tree is strong and healthy and has strong roots that are embedded deeply in country, culture and family. The trunk is strong, sturdy and enduring and a family is represented here: pregnant mother, father and child supported by the roots and each person an integral part of community. In the top left corner, we start with communities, represented by circles that make up the foliage of the tree. This foliage starts out grey and muted with pops of colour representing our traditional knowledge, birth rites and practices emerging from trauma and hardship, knowledge that has always been there, but has been lying dormant until the time was right to emerge. As this foliage moves across to the right, it blooms with strength, health and colour and are connected to form a beautiful and vibrant canopy, supported by the sturdy trunk and ancient roots. This foliage drops seeds so that other trees, the saplings seen here, can grow and stand strong. The grey circles on the black background represent the birthing places all over this land, connecting us again to country. In the earth, the circles represent the continuing birthing women, from generation to generation, unbroken with the smaller circles above and below representing our knowledge and strength as energy, passed on from our grandmothers and is never ending.
