Gungurrunga Ngawa (Look Above) was photographed above the Western Australian Goldfields salt lakes as part of an on-going project documenting both the landscape and the regions inhabitants.
The ethereal beauty of the area’s unique shapes and textures when seen from the air reveal an extraordinary and ancient land, that combine natural notions with a sensuality of vibrant colour reflecting from the rich-minerals land and patterns shaped of what remains of the ancient river systems.
This aerial series is the first part of a broader body of work that also weaves in the works Ngala Wongga (Come Talk), a set of portraits examining the interconnectedness of people with the land, the culture and identity expressed with languages that today are considered endangered.
