Gail Napangati paints women walking around and searching for bush onions. Gail depicts this from an aerial point-of-view, painting in aspects of the landscape including the water holes around which this bush tucker is found. The U shapes represent the women searching for the food. When they find the little bulb-like onions, they dig them up with their digging sticks and find a nice place to make a fire and cook them to eat.
