The painting represents the underground overlapping root system of yam plant.


The loose quivering lines depicted in the painting refers to the design Aboriginal women from Utopia paint onto their upper body, to enact the Yam Dreaming, during women's ceremony.


The Aboriginal women pay homage to the spirit of the yam plant to ensure perpetual germination.
