The word budyabudya means butterfly or moth in the wiradjuri language. The word Monarch means a sovereign head of state, espeically a king or queen.
This is art piece is a strengthening of the WE ARE message, "We are First Nations people, Stolen Ones, Displaced, Resilient fighters, Strong, Proud, We aren't the Jewel in your Crown.
