This painting tells the story of rock holes, the natural water sources that are essential to both survival and spirituality in Yanangu
culture. These hidden wells, known as gnamma holes, are lifelines in the arid landscape, especially during the dry season when other
water sources disappear.
But rock holes are more than just water—they are places of deep cultural significance, where stories are told, songs are sung, and
Tjukurpa (Creation story) is passed down through generations. Knowledge of these sacred sites is carefully shared, ensuring that each
new generation understands how to find, protect, and sustain them.
