Angelina Ngale has depicted the women and children covered in body paint design as they sing and dance in ceremony with the witch doctor.  

According to the beliefs of the Anmatyerre people, the Athem-aranya are small creatures that live where there is no fire. The ceremony is undertaken by the women, children and the witch doctor to ward off the "Athem-aranya" spirits and to protect the children from sickness.
