Tayiesha Warria, born on Thursday Island, is a Yorke (Masig) Island woman from Zenadh Kes, Kulkalgal. Tayiesha explores the impact of climate change upon the islands of the Torres Straits through her studies of Visual Arts at Mount St Bernard College in Far North Queensland. Using repurposed materials, Tayiesha fuses the iconography of her ancestral heritage with issues such as rising sea levels, cultural identity and pollution such as floating sea garbage to create contemporary sculptures.
