This work titled Girrambanha means “feel the fire” in Wiradjuri. This piece comes from deep within my spirit; it’s about the fire that lives inside me. Sometimes it burns bright and fierce, and other times, when anxiety takes hold, it flickers and fades. The lines in the centre represent my struggles with anxiety, how it spirals, spins, and traps me in a space where I feel stuck. The thick black line surrounding it embodies that heaviness, that sense of being boxed in, unable to reach the world around me. In these moments, I miss out on experiences, let people down, and carry the weight of guilt and absence.

Yet beyond that line, the radiating lines are warm, strong, and full of movement. They represent my people, my family, my mob, the love and support that surrounds me even when I feel alone. This work is about the tension between pain and resilience, vulnerability and strength. It is a meditation on endurance, the flickering and reigniting of our inner fire, and the ways connection to community and culture restores us. Girrambanha is my story, but it is also a shared story, one of sitting in difficulty, reigniting the fire within, and knowing we never walk through it alone.
