Kuberan has created works inspired by country, culture and family from both his Australian Aboriginal and Tamilian Hindu ancestry to tell the story of “a sacred tree” growing on “sacred land".

The eye pillows are filled with Indian sandalwood chips, whilst the scarf is paired with a vial of sandalwood to anoint the fabric; both designed to inspire deep relaxation with the subtle yet powerful scent.

Scarves, eye pillows and greeting cards are available to purchase for a limited time in-store and online at Heartwood exclusively.

Piriwa, located in Balgo (Wirrimanu) is a community driven organisation that focuses on activating female entrepreneurship. Designed to provide women with the skills they need to sustain a small business, Piriwa operates as a community op shop and acts as a safe space for women of all ages to gather, share cultural knowledge and stories, build confidence and capacity and most importantly, it directly contributes to the overall mental health and well-being of women in Balgo.

The Piriwa women use profits from the op shop to take young women out on country where the women collect natural bush materials to make bush products like soaps, medicines and ointments. These products are shared with others in the community; however, they could be a source of income in the future.

Balgo is one of Australia's most remote First Nations communities. Women living in Balgo experience significant social and environmental challenges to participating in training, education and employment opportunities.

Donations for this project will go directly to supporting the women of Balgo and contribute to future developments and sustainability of the hub.
