'Dhangalau Waku Uman' Dress
Dhangalau Waku Uman
This artwork is an abstract story piece.
The weaving progression symbolises families in the community carrying out important roles and responsibilities leading up to a ceremony. The intricacy represents the hard work and commitment from each family member.
Dhangal (Dugong) is being prepared for part of the after ceremony feast. Dhangal have held a unique importance in our culture for thousands of years.
The woven circles represent families from afar reuniting at the ceremony for storytelling, dancing and bonding over a feast of Dhangal and other foods. This ceremony will play a special role in weaving harmonious relationships between families.
