Artwork Story:
The artwork shows a dreaming story from Yumari, a collection of rocks in the Gibson Desert. It is the site of a forbidden love story between a Japaljarri man and a Nangala woman. The painting uses iconography associated with the site and landforms to show the story. For example, the concentric circles represent rockholes.
