Cycle of Waters presents a circular composition where fish move in continuous motion around a central turtle and bird, forming a powerful symbol of life cycles and ecological balance. The rotating arrangement suggests the flow of water, time, and energy—an ongoing system of renewal and interdependence.

At the center, the turtle represents stability and longevity, while the bird introduces awareness and connection to the spiritual realm. Together, they anchor the composition, surrounded by fish that embody movement, sustenance, and the rhythms of nature.

Executed in Johnny Mukwa’s Woodland style, the work features bold outlines, intricate internal patterning, and a vibrant, controlled palette. Both visually dynamic and symbolically rich, this piece offers a compelling expression of continuity, making it highly appealing to collectors drawn to narrative-driven contemporary Indigenous art.
