The painting refers to two significant elements; Awelye and Bush Melon; from the late Minnie Pwerle's homeland of Atnwengerrp, Utopia in Central Australia.

Awelye refers to womens ceremonies and body paint. The women anoint their upper body with oil and apply ochre markings, before dancing their ceremony.

Bush Melon (circles) is said to be found only in Atnwengerrp. The women gather the fruit to be eaten or dried and stored to be consumed when bush tucker was scarce.
