Ray-Ban New Wayfarer by Saretta Fielding

Ray-Ban and the Australian arm of vision-focused nonprofit OneSight held a competition for emerging Indigenous artists—and this is the winning design. Printed on the special-edition New Wayfarer is “Nakiliko – See,” a piece by Saretta Fielding, an Aboriginal woman of the Wonnarua Nation. The printed arms are complemented by a glossy black front with brown gradient lenses and small metal accents on the corners.

Fielding says, "This artwork reflects the value placed on sight or seeing in both a physical and spiritual sense by our people. The story is representative of a figure engraved in rock on the ‘map site’ found at Mount Yengo, a special ceremonial meeting place in our country, for the Wonnarua and surrounding tribal groups. The large red and yellow circles represent the figure's eyes, showing that it sees much, and placing great importance on our physical sight. The white circles containing many eyes refer to our spiritual sight, closely connected to knowledge and wisdom. The earthly tones seen in the fluid waves symbolize country and song lines, connecting our communities in a shared vision toward improving life for our people."
