South end of South Beach, Wollongong.
Warm Winter Water. Standing in the ocean on a winter morning. The air is cold, the water seems warm and for a moment, familiar expectations dissolve. Comfort and discomfort coexist.
A quiet contradiction, where surrender can feel like resistance and uncertainty becomes its own kind of peace. The strange moment, where you don't know whether you are entering comfort, or leaving.
Tugarah Gunya’mari refers to the second phase of Winter in the six seasonal cycle of Indigenous knowledge. It is a time of marked change, of the arrival of flowers and fishes and a sign of the coming end to cold winds and days.
