so yoon lym: the dreamtime




Uh…these are paintings!? Wow.

Paintings by So Yoon Lym, entitled The Dreamtime.


The Dreamtime is a reference to the pre-colonial Aboriginal Australian understanding of life and the particular viewpoints as understood by the dreamtime. This could be regarded as a form of spirituality. The dreamtime was an understanding of time and the creation of all things as told by myths about the continuum of past, present and future. The aborigines believed in what the European coined, the dreamtime, which to the aborigines was an interconnected way of living on an earth that they believed was inhabited by the spirits of shared ancestors.
