A site-specific artwork flowing from kunanyi to the Derwent, grounded in Muwinina history.

Commissioned through Solid Lines for Deloitte’s Nipaluna/Hobart headquarters, this site-specific artwork depicts the journey of freshwater from Kunanyi/Mount Wellington to the tidal waters of Timtumili Minanya/Derwent River. Traditional bark huts, canoes, and petroglyph motifs layer the composition, grounding it in the history and ongoing presence of the Muwinina people. Handwritten text asserts: we are the Muwinina, this is Nipaluna, our homelands.
