Three Green Sea Turtles 

Taleena Lui-Villaflor’s artwork provides screening and wayfinding in the customer service area. 

Three Green Sea Turtles (Doedleera) is about connection to Larrakia Country and strength in culture.

Always returning to the ocean from the land on Larrakia Country, Doedleera travel freely and always find their way back to family and home. Taleena’s artworks represent her connection to land, sea, people and animals, and are dedicated to her Frist Nations heritage. The artist takes pride in sharing her knowledge, especially with young people.
