Kay Pauli's artwork uses a symbolic language to depict the plight of Sulphur-crested Cockatoos amidst deforestation. The scattering of white dots symbolizes the cockatoos , yellow dots representing their cherished sunflowers. Interwoven light and dark brown lines serve as a stark reminder of deforestation, the permanent destruction of the cockatoos' habitat. This loss directly impacts the birds, depriving them of food, shelter, nesting sites, and ultimately, their homes. The artwork highlights the deep connection these birds have to their ancestral lands, emphasizing their inability to comprehend the destruction of their environment.
The five larger "U" shapes representing elders and smaller "U" shapes representing children are coming together to learn how to assist and protect the Australian wildlife and the Sulphur-crested Cockatoos.
