The Exhibition: Ever Present: The First Peoples Art of Australia (27 May - 25 Sep 2022)
Survive
Soon the sky will be dark
Some may not make it home
Such is the life we lead
Save us, Seven Sisters
Show us the next day's light
Show us the big red Rock
Still and grand in the sands.

Stunning painting — and I like the poem it inspired, too.
Yes, it's a stunning painting. And it's only fitting I use a pleiades poem to accompany it. :)
