This painting shares the influence of stories told by Aunty Leah Purcell and of her connections to family and country.

Seen on the centre, to the right of the canvas, is her Yurdi (skin or totem) in flight across country.

This is representative of her dreaming connected to the mountains and memories of conversations had between her Mother and Grandmother.
