Morris Gibson, son of Ningura Napurrula, belongs to the ethnic group of the Pintupi whose artists stage sites related to the stories of the Tingari Men. These Great Ancestors, who appeared in the early days of the creation of the aboriginal world, have a reputation for travelling across the Australian continent with their wives and young apprentices whom they were responsible for introducing. At each of their stages in the desert, they created a sacred site around a water point or as here around a marsh now dried up: Warilutjana.

In keeping with the tradition of painting on the ground, Morris Gibson proposes here an abstract satellite view of Warilutjana: the multiple squares tend to represent several sites visited by the Tingari.
