The painting depicts Burning Grass. For generations Aboriginal people from Central Australia have burnt off their land to survive. The purpose of this tradition is for the re-growth of vegetation, safety and food source (hunting out animals)

Burning Grass in Luritja Aboriginal language is Tjanpi Kampanyi.
