Feeling that the\u003cbr\u003emountains were the right way to go, I decided to just commit and let the story come\u003cbr\u003ethrough as time went on. Not long after I could see shape forming below and instantly\u003cbr\u003ehad the thought of the iceberg theory.\u003cbr\u003eThis work represents Blak businesses seen through the mountains, with the\u003cbr\u003eunderneath half representing the Ancestors. The Ancestors energy and knowledge\u003cbr\u003ecoming up and into these mountains - where they take this on and stand proudly\u003cbr\u003ewearing these matching colours. These layers show the strength and connection while\u003cbr\u003ealso leaving space for the Ancestors to come through - where what they originally built\u003cbr\u003ecan be seen. Behind the mountains, a bright sunrise is seen which speaks on a rising\u003cbr\u003eup of these businesses.\u003cbr\u003eThe piece is framed as I believe it speaks well to how Blak business are stereotyped;\u003cbr\u003eIt stands for being boxed in. However, I have burned organic squares - using linework\u003cbr\u003earound the frame to show we can and are breaking out of these confines and doing\u003cbr\u003ewhat has always been in our blood from our old people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269930066110,"sku":null,"price":3500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/7653\/2926\/files\/Underneath.jpg?v=1791852006","url":"https:\/\/qimp7i-pm.myshopify.com\/products\/staunch-copy","provider":"Birrunga Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
