Daniel has painted the jila (living water) of his ancestor's country. Winpa is the larger circle at the top of the salt-pan. The four smaller waterholes are winpa's sons that appear today as small fresh water holes in the edge of the salt pan. This waterhole was an important place for Daniel's family who lived in the desert until the early 1970s. In Daniel's hometown of Bidyadanga, Daniel paints with the elders of the community who communicate the landscape of Winpa through song and painting. Winpa is significant to his people because some of the elders have strong memories of losing their brothers and sisters at this waterhole. The large waterhole is connected underground to the surrounding yinti (creeks) and jila of the landscape. Daniel has also painted the abundance of mayi (bushfood) that is dotted over the tali (sand dunes).
