The clubs with boomerangs on either side are birds taking flight deep into the sky. The one above has flown so high it can see what’s beyond the worlds; the three circles and the landscape, but not too far as to not lose sight of who you are and where you come from. A reminder to visit home.

The face of a Woman and the moon right of the canvas represent the cycles of Earth/Women, with the direction of the birds bringing this into play. The turquoise and shades of blue link the ocean to the moon, bringing calmness into chaos with protection and healing, seen also in the mountains/ridges/trees taking the shape of a pointed-edged club. This provokes thinking, being mindful of what you’re doing, and showing up for the right reasons.
