The painting depicts the transition of seasons, referring to the flowers from the Pencil Yam plant.


The Aboriginal women from Utopia in Central Australia use digging sticks to gather the edible white root, which is an important food source (bush tucker).


The women also honour the spirit of the yam plant during awelye ceremonies to ensure perpetual germination.
