The painting depicts a topography of the landscape and the seasonal cycle of wild bush berry plant.
After rain, the desert transforms from bareness to abundant vegetation. The women then, gather these edible bush berries, which are a principal food source (bush tucker) for Aboriginal people living in Central Australia.
The women through ceremony celebrate fertility to ensure regrowth of vegetation. The dots are symbolic of the journey path and song lines for the bush berry after the rain.
