In this painting Imiyari depicts Inma Walka (designs relating to Inma - ceremony). These designs are painted on the chest, breasts, arms and thighs. Natural pigments ground from red and yellow ochres and clays, charcoal as well as ash are used to make ceremonial body paint and either applied with a flat stick or with the fingers. Each story or song that is celebrated use a different design. Inma ceremonies are performed to demonstrate respect for their country, to celebrate aspects of culture and everyday life, as well as to teach ancient stories and pass on history to younger generations.
