The painting depicts the journey of the Bush Hen (turkey) as she roams in search of her favourite fruit, the solanum berries similar to the desert raisin.

The women from the Eastern Anmatyerr country, Utopia, pay homage to the Bush Hen Ancestor in their ceremonies and perform song and dance cycles.
