Lily paints her family's ngura (country), which is in Western Australia. Her canvas shows the ngura of all of her family - her mother, father, and grandparents and ancestors on both sides - travelling towards each other and meeting in her. Part of this country is traversed by the Seven Sisters in the epic Kungkarangkalpa Tiukurrpa (Seven Sisters Dreaming) that spans large parts of the Australian continent. Lily depicts the sisters crossing part of her family's country before they travel up into the sky to become stars in the Milky Way.
