Werte! 🤎

It’s not often I post myself on here, but I thought it was time to reintroduce myself.

I’m Cassa, an Arrernte woman from Central Australia and the woman behind Eye Of Thee.

I started Eye Of Thee just over four years ago while pregnant with my first child. What began as a creative outlet and a small idea has grown alongside me through some of the most transformative years of my life.

In that time, I’ve experienced motherhood, miscarriage, a traumatic third pregnancy that included four months of hospitalised bed rest, the premature arrival of our baby and a long NICU stay. More recently, we made the decision to move back home to Country to help care for my mum and our beautiful matriarch, who passed peacefully a few months ago.

There have been seasons where Eye Of Thee has had to slow down, sit quietly in the background, or simply move at the pace life allowed.

But it never left me.

If anything, these years have given the business a deeper sense of purpose.

Building Eye Of Thee through so much change has taught me resilience, patience and the importance of creating something that feels true to who I am. It has reminded me that strength doesn’t always look like pushing forward. Sometimes it’s adapting, sometimes it’s resting, and sometimes it’s finding your way back when the time is right.

Eye Of Thee has grown with me, shaped by culture, Country, family, motherhood, loss, love and everything in between.

And I feel like I’m entering a new chapter now.

I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve built over these past four years, often amongst circumstances I could never have planned for. There’s a renewed energy behind Eye Of Thee, and I’m excited to share more of the story, the process and what I’ve been quietly creating.

To everyone who has supported Eye Of Thee, whether you’ve been here from the beginning or have only recently found my work…thank you.

It means more than you know.

Here’s to what comes next. 🤎

Thought I’d share this - One of my favourite songs as a kid. Sang by our Mum and matriarch, , she was an incredibly talented vocalist and musician, playing piano, guitar and accordion. We were so lucky to grow up surrounded by music and art.

This song was recorded for the Unte Nthenharenye (Where do you come from?) Arrernte song book in 1993.

This song in particular, is all of her vocals harmonizing (overlapped 7 times)

It’s been a few months since she returned to the spirit realm, and we miss her everyday.

A huge congratulations to Akeyulerre Healing Centre on receiving this incredible international design award. It’s wonderful to see an Arrernte organisation recognised on the international stage for its vision, culture and commitment to community.

If you haven’t visited Akeyulerre, it’s well worth stopping by. Take some time to admire the award-winning architectural design, enjoy a coffee at the café, browse the gift shop, and while you’re there, you can also find the Eye Of Thee collection.

Congratulations again to everyone at Akeyulerre on this well-deserved achievement. What a fantastic milestone for our Arrernte community.
