Tribe of Women is a vibrant tribute to feminine strength and diversity, celebrating women of all colours, shapes, and sizes, and the circles of and support that carry us through life’s challenges. It’s a reminder of the many differences we each have and how these help us to be stronger together.
“The artwork pays homage to empowering female relationships and how they carry us through journeys. Women who love and support us through any area of life.” - Eulalia
The collection’s photoshoot was captured in Eulalia’s hometown of Kununurra, on the eastern extremity of the Kimberley in Western Australia. Featuring her mother Gloria, cousin Tracey, niece Monique, and close friends Arnah and Dakota, the imagery honours the beauty of feminine connection across generations and community.
“This piece was inspired by my family and friendships. Through challenging times and good times in life, we as women need other women around us to celebrate and to cry together. We need support and love. The colours represent women and our different skin colours. The circles represent women of all different shapes, sizes, ages and nationalities. Our mothers, grandmothers, daughters, relatives, friendships. The women who love and support us through any area of life.” - Eulalia
