This outstanding artwork depicts in fine detail multi layered elements, which are closely associated with the Artist's homelands of Atneltyeye, Utopia in central Australia. This illustration is important visually and spiritually of country, sand hills and significant landmarks for ceremonies.
The blue dots represent water in the creeks that flow through sand dunes during rain fall, which is celebrated by those who have a strong connection to the country. The Aboriginal women honour this in their Awelye 
ceremonies.
