The painting represents with the use of Warlpiri traditional iconography, two body painting designs, depicting women's ceremonies (red & yellow) and men's ceremony (row of ochre). These ceremonies relate to the Jangala men, who were rain-makers, sang the rain, unleashing a giant storm. The curved lives represent Ngawarra (flood waters) and small circles represent Mulju (water soakages).
