2016 | Acrylic and oil on canvas | 18 × 20 inches
Painted from a dawn photograph of Uluru taken on my 25th birthday, The Center brings together two enduring sources of reverence: the wedge-tailed eagle and one of Australia’s most ancient landscapes. The eagle’s sweeping movement, almost a dance through the sky, reflects themes of freedom, spirit, and transformation, echoing the symbolism of sacred birds across cultures.
Set against the stillness of Uluru, the work explores the balance between movement and permanence, the living and the ancient. The eagle and the landscape become a meditation on presence, scale, and our place within the greater story of the natural world.
