The Artwork
“Dreaming the same Dream”
Gemma Garcia artwork
My recognition and respect to the Aboriginal People
Gemma Garcia artwork
I am interested in the indigenous culture,
the rituals, stories, dreams, colors, patterns.
My country, Spain, has red and
yellow colours in the flag and dots are popular patterns in Spanish dresses. I
have connected the similarities of Spanish culture with the Australian
Indigenous Culture in this artwork. Black, Red and Yellow are the colours of
Mother Earth and the Aboriginal flag. I recognise and respect Aboriginal People
and I am interested in the Indigenous culture, the rituals, stories, dreams,
colours, patterns. I selected two Australian animals as symbols - the Lizard
and the Kookaburra. The animals are part of nature. Aboriginals respect Mother
Earth. This is what we need to learn. My metaphorical dream is that one day we
will dream the same dream: between all countries, cultures, persons, with
respect, freedom, and all integrated with Mother Earth.
The animals are part of nature,
and the indigenous are respectful with the Mother Earth. This is a message that we need
to learn from them.
