This painting depicts the story of a very sick man from the Jungurrayi skin group. Every woman in camp was worried for him. They were sitting in a circle around the man, in the middle of gum trees hoping he would get better. The circles depict gum trees and the U shapes represent the women from all the different skin groups. The long straight lines represent the sick Jungarrayi man. This Dreaming took place at Mangel Downs near the Tanami Gold Mine in the Northern Territory. It is a traditional Dreaming story for the Napaltjarri and Nungarrayi skin groups.
