Dhanparr Garak is a limited edition design that speaks to transition, regeneration and circularity. Drawing reference from larrakitj (traditional funeral poles) Dhanparr Garak is a sculptural lighting feature that connects the earth and sky, dark and light, death and survival, nature and navigation.

Dhanparr Garak demonstrates the differing foundational perceptions of First Nations and settler cultures. Through a First Nations lens themes of death and survival, light and dark are indivisible, whilst the colonial canon positions these as oppositional. Dhanparr Garak projects light out the top and the bottom of the larrakitj suggesting two polarities, at the same time projected light omits in a circular pattern - like the milky way - connecting past, present and future.

As a representation of a funeral pole, Dhanparr Garak reminds colonisers of the countless First Nations deaths at the hands of imperialism. Yet the gurtha (light) is ultimately a hopeful symbol, that centres an honest connection to the past as a necessary point from which to move forward. Bonhula suggests that this path forward is illuminated by the ancestors and spiritual guides that flow in the rivers of Garak (the universe, the milky way).
