The title of this series draws on the richness of Indigenous languages, where Durum Gadju evokes the south, birth, and the number three, placing maternal figures within a symbolic and spiritual geography. Each work acts like a river, sometimes calm, sometimes in motion, into which each generation of women comes to deposit her voice. As the water flows, it carries with it stories, advice, and gestures learned over time. This current becomes a fluid memory, a collective wisdom in perpetual expansion. Through an aesthetic marked by delicate curves, open spaces, and patterns that resonate with natural cycles, Niah composes a sensitive cartography of the feminine. Her works unfold like silent conversations between mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts: a visual dialogue between past and future. 

Niah's style evokes the weave of an ancestral fabric: a tapestry where each line, each empty space, has the power of a memory or advice passed on without words. In this weaving, maternal figures become landmarks, lighting the way for those who follow. By celebrating these invisible but essential transmissions, Niah pays tribute to the collective strength of women, to their ability to carry, guide, and connect, like the roots of a single tree that nourish all its branches.
