Kanta has painted the area in which she grew up, Unpunya. Unpunya is in the vicinity of other important rockholes for Kanta such as Tjuntunya and Pirapi, which can be seen in the painting represented by the roundals. This area is one of the many sites in the Western Desert visited by the sacred "Seven Sisters." The women traversed this country, singing around the rockholes and searching for bush foods.
