Territory, and Rhonda is proud to paint her mother's country:
"There's many salt lakes around my mothers country. They change colours with the seasons: pink, white, blue, everything! Sometimes the lakes are big, sometimes they are small, it always changes and there's storylines around all of this. Long long time ago they were all connected by rivers, and my ancestors walked between them, always following the riverbeds. I paint those journeys as remember my old people with every painting I make."
