Wawu Binnii (Broken Spirit 2)

Description

Wawu Binnii  =  (tired), in the Guugu Yimithirr language

Wawu n. = (breath), (inside)s, (soul), (centre) and (want) in Guugu Yimithirr

In this painting Roy attempts to capture how the effects and outcomes of an alcohol and drug-induced lifestyle changes the body and soul, making it sad, weak and tired.  Roy favoured healthy and happy lifestyles and loved to see people reach their full potential instead of destroying their lives.
