This painting shows Weaver in country. She has represented herself as a white cross in this work. Above her is her language (yulparija) which is floating on her right shoulder. On her left shoulder are two circular icons which represent water in colamons. Weaver is surrounded by tali (sand hills), jila (waterholes) and warla (mud flats) near her birthplace of Lungarung. Lungarung is close to Winpa in the Great Sandy Desert near Well 33 on the Canning Stock Route. Weaver returned there in 2006 for the first time since the Yulparija people walked out of country in the late 60's. She often paints this experience and the walk out if country as she has done in this work.
