In the series ‘Wumera Nangamaye’ (View from the Sky/Dream), Konstantina represents the country, or Ngura, which is the lifeblood of her people. For her, it is the heart, soul and creator of culture. Ngura is the earth, the animals, the water, the sky and the air, but it can also be the emotional feeling that aborigines experience when they are in the country or working to improve their people and their culture. Ngura is also the spiritual manifestation of connection and commitment to the land. It is this Ngura that Aboriginal artists channel in their work. It is a physical narration of their rich oral history. It allows them to remember their place, their Ngura, as their ancestors did. The opportunity is to preserve these memories and stories for future generations.
