SOH Wellema Tubowgale Prologue

Showcased for the Opera House’s 50th Anniversary, Wéllema Tubowgule highlights the magnificence of natural forms. Our meditative piece acts as a prologue to Sam Doust’s exploration of the architectural story of the Sydney Opera House.

Jake Duczynski, co-director at Studio Gilay, shares an intimate connection with the organic forms that feature in the piece as a proud Gomeroi descendant.
