This artwork depicts many unique symbols, which the Warlpiri women from central Australia incorporate to express women's ceremonies in their paintings.
An important element in women's ceremonies is the body paint design, dance cycles accompanied with songlines, which are also referred to as Dreaming tracks. Songlines are an intricate series of song cycle that identify landmarks and tracks. During the ceremony songs must be continually sung to keep the land alive. In signing they preserve the land/story/dreaming of their ancestors.
