This painting is about Kunga Kutjara (two ladies) that meet at a rockhole near Bumbali Creek, not far from the NT and SA border. This tjukurpa tells the moving story of an elder sister bringing her missing younger sister back to her birth country after a long period of separation. Tuppy has painted a conceptual map of the country formed of expansive colour, signs and marks of the two sisters travels and sacred presence in the land.
