Ngoia paints her father’s country, which is a sacred Warlpiri territory.

The oval shapes represent the swamps and lakes near Nyirripi (Talarada) northwest of Mount Liebig west of Alice Springs in Central Australia.

The fine detailed dots represent the water drying up and the cracks in the ground forming.

This region is changed with the spiritual presence of the 'water snake' which lies beneath the surface.

This area, however, is where her father hunted prior to white settlement. Ngoia has special custodianship responsibilities for this country.
