Giwaa-yubaa - 1000 Piece Puzzle
Some puzzles you solve, and some you just settle into. Giwaa-Yubaa is definitely the latter. Inspired by connection, place, and story, it’s a piece designed to take your time with - there’s no need to rush.
It fits easily into those in-between moments of the day. When things feel a bit loud, it offers something quieter to focus on. There’s a steady rhythm to it - calm, grounding, and easy to sit with.
The patterns are thoughtful and satisfying, slowly coming together piece by piece. It’s the kind of puzzle you can really sink into - a gentle way to unwind and switch off at the end of a long week.

Lou Martin is a contemporary Aboriginal artist (Wiradjuri) based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, creating on Gubbi Gubbi country.
Her work reflects a deep connection to land, community, and family, inspired by both coastal and hinterland landscapes. Painting and creativity run through generations of her family, and her work carries that sense of continuity and story.
Lou brings a contemporary approach to traditional dot painting, using colour and pattern to express stories in a way that feels both personal and deeply connected to place.
