Description
Zugubal is plural for Zugub. The Zugubal in the western Zenadh Kes (Torres Strait) looked like humans while they inhabited the island world, but they were super human in their strength and deeds. they have the ability to transform into anything of any shape or form in the natural world. They possess powers which enable them to summon thunders, lightning, wind and rain, and they could control the moods of the sea to suit themselves. In this print I have depicted a group of Zugubal, navigating by stars of their ancestors; the great Zugub leaders Thagai and Kang. Above the travellers the star constellation shows the movement of Thagai and Kang. The Southern Cross is the left hand of Thagai holding the spears. Corvus is the right hand of Thagai. Scorpio is the canoe part of this constellation where his brother Kang sits.
