Being born into the suburbs of Sydney in 1960, Turiya has a sentimental and nostalgic look at her childhood using some of  the familiar consumer icons that were a hallmark of Australian life. This is a conversation about how individuals have been accultured by a series of concepts, sometimes brutally applied, that have become a mistaken identity which veils the true self which is radiant, simple and universal.

Turiya's approach to this body of work is divergent yet cohesive in it's exploration of the theme.
