Protecting Innocence
The child reaches up for her gift from the Eagle - a Dreamcatcher.
Dreamcatchers are a useful form of protection, in that they are used to ward off and protect from bad dreams entering the person's dreamtime.
The little girl represents an innocence that only children really have in life. They are beautiful, luminous creatures and require a signifigant amount of protection along their journey into adulthood.
The faces in the landscape and the stars in the background are representative of the Ancestors or 'Grandfathers'.
