The 'U' shapes in this painting show women sitting on the ground (the tracks they leave) as they gather to share stories and songs. The linked circles are both the journeys of the ancestors, and the tracks of the women as they dance to recreate these stories in ceremonies. The circles also represent physical sites created by these ancestors as they travelled the land, bringing it and the resources to life.
