The painting depicts honey ants and witchetty grubs, which are a principal food source the Aboriginal women gather in Central Australia.

The foot prints represent a spiritual connection with their homeland, known as walkabout. (walkabout is a spiritual journey where they return to their home or where they feel a connection to the land).
